Taycan Blows Past EPA Range Amount On 70 MPH HighwayTest

[Fun TC Driving]

True it was a RWD sedan version with 19” wheels, but a really nice result. Thanks OutOfSpec.

Good video. I didn't know that Lucid vehicles have vehicle-to-vehicle charging capability. I think that is an excellent feature that all EVs should offer.

Kyle's videos put me sleep, but I love them.

I skip through them quickly looking for highlights ?

Yes, impressive how he managed to fit all the substantive info here:
https://insideevs.com/reviews/739163/2025-porsche-taycan-base-range-test/
... into a 43-minute video.
And even that text was rather lengthy given that the key points (or would that be, the only points?) are as follows

1. A Taycan with a 318-mile EPA rating went 367 miles before dying (at 0% SoC, no buffer), at 70 mph.

The article also states that:
"To make matters worse, it was cold when Kyle did the testing, suggesting that fair-weather range may be even better."
I glanced at the video briefly, and saw low 70s F on the dash at the start, dropping to mid 40s F at the end.
So definitely would have gone longer in summer temps at 70 mph.

The gov't fuel economy website has very few entries for the MY25 Taycan, but here's the full list:
https://www.porsche.com/usa/models/taycan/taycan-range/
So applying that same 15.4% overage factor (with the twin caveats that optimal summer range would be longer, but zero SoC means zero), a 4CT would get 319, and the 4S sedan would get 339.

All of this matches up quite well with the impressive range accounts that have posted at this forum already.

I guess some people like the meandering style he provides that makes a video that should be less than 10 mins take around an hour. I just can’t.

Thanks, @Jonathan S., for saving us all the time we would have needed to spend watching that video!
