Battery Range: Is 100% full charge of 188 miles the best I can expect?

[whitex]

So the timer needs to be set ... from the car ... from the charger ... but not from the app?
Or just set the timer within the app at 60 minutes before departure, so not only is the cabin nice & toaster but the high-voltage battery is also all ready to go?

I presume it works the same regardless how you set the timer, as long as it's ahead of time. When I said it doesn't seem to work the same from the app, I meant manual preheat initiated from the app, which seems to just drain the battery - definitely does not enable the EVSE when triggered, perhaps after some time?

My 2022 GTS gives me 185 miles at 85% charge and about 225 at 100%. I have 4,000 miles. My my.porsche.com trip log shows currently (November) about 1.9 to 2.2 Mi/kWh. Last summer it was more like 2.3 to 2.5 Mi/kWh. I keep seeing people report 250 miles plus and hope as I get more miles I will too. However, with the GTS wheels and tires, I figure 225 might be it.

I think it’s a bit low if you’re talking about regular boring long distance driving. On average my Turbo S gets a bit under 25kWh/100km when driving steadily on 120kph roads. That’s roughly 2.5 mi/kWh.

That said, power consumption is not magic. It depends on a number of different factors like speed, driving style, traffic, elevation, weather and so on.

Except for the first few kilometres when it’s tuning in the brakes, the power consumption won’t really change sans a software update.

Like I showed in my previous post, my power consumption can vary throughout a single week between 23 and 30 kWh/100km, so it’s not unreasonable that in the conditions you are driving in, that’s the range you’re getting.

I get similar 85% on my Turbo CT. My lifetime usage is 2.5 mi/kWh (~8K miles, starting mid Feb with a long trip across USA). Best ever was 2.9 mi/KWh (136 miles on Jul 8th). Winter of course is worse than summer.

Is 100% full charge of 188 miles the best I can expect on my Taycan now or can I somehow improve this?

In the MyPorsche app, go to Vehicle > Details > scroll down to All trip data > select Total trip.
What does it show as your Avg consumption?

RWD, small battery, 19” Aeros, cold weather is starting In Boston. No I don’t usually charge this high.

Similar range here. 4S, performance options, 21s with summer tires, inefficient driving style and mix. Pretty much dead on what the Porsche range estimator says for my spec.

228 achieved today at 100%, 4S with bigger battery, RS Spyder wheels, heater and aircon on, 10 degrees pretty much the entire journey. Wasn’t driving that fast, traffic didn’t allow but it was a mix of A roads, motorway and B roads.
interestingly sticking range mode on today only said it would add 6 mins when still 90% charged (so didn’t bother)

 

[Caraholic]

My 4S loaner which I drive just like my turbo easily gets 270-280 on a full charge. Still 70 degrees here as well. My turbo on the other hand on got 210 and that was babying it in range mode. Needless to say it had 12 bad cells and is currently being replaced. I expect an easy 250 out of the turbo.

No question for me that Temperature is the biggest single variable (assuming driving style is a constant).
Over the past 18 months I've seen a 50 difference from summer to winter when driving the same roads in the same style.

TTS with the 21” wheels. About 230 at 100%. Actual depletion varies with driving vigor, so real world I get closer to 180.

 

[Electra Glide In Blue]

I'm charging to 85% and getting to 210 miles (338 km) on a '23 RWD with a 79.2 battery, 20 inch Turbo Aero wheels. The guess-o-meter tells me over 3,800 miles we're covering 3.6 miles per kWh. We made a trip up the norCal coast one month ago and drove gingerly because of co-pilot and averaged 4.2 mi/kWh over 250 miles, round trip. I have charged rarely to 100% and pushed 250 miles.

Ambient temperature is a major factor with variable range in the same car but so is AC. I have 21 inch wheels so not good for range (but look great!).

I normally charge to 85% which was 197 miles in Summer/no AC, but is now 165 miles at 10oC with AC most of the time.

The best in 8 months of ownership, now 3500 miles, has been 237 miles at 100% SOC/3.3 miles/Kwh in Summer. At current cold temperatures it's 1.3-1.6 miles/Kwh doing short 6 mile journey's through slow moving stop/start city traffic, which doesn't help.

While temperature is very impactful, all other things equal, the single biggest impact on range is the mix of driving between city, country road, and highway. If you go into the Porsche range estimator and toggle all the levers, driving mix is slightly more impactful than even temperature. Which is why you see some folks on here getting 260-280 out of their Taycans while most get 200-225, even in similar temps.

I have a Taycan Turbo and I usually get about 240 miles if I drive normally. Admittedly that drops to 200 or less if I drive "aggresively"
