Taycan is the name of the first electric car presented by Porsche. This is the evolved version of the Mission E prototype, which we saw when it was in development, now Taycan presents the commercial version that we will see on the market in 2019.
Taycan is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 in 3.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km/h, but that is not the most surprising thing, but it is what it is capable of doing with a fast charge of only 15 minutes: 150 km more.
It has a power output of over 600 hp, the first result of an announced investment of 6,000 million euros for electrical technology in its cars, of which 500 million euros will go to create variants and derivatives of Taycan (700 million will be invested in new technologies, charging infrastructure and intelligent mobility).
The problem with this type of vehicle is based on two key factors: its high price and the few loading areas. As far as the first point is concerned, Taycan will cost about $80,000, although it may cost as much as $90,000, according to rumours. To solve the second point, Porsche is partnering with several companies to build several charging points, hundreds of which are located throughout the United States, the first country where the car will arrive.
Those of us who use electric vehicles (electric motorcycles, in my case), know very well the advantages we are talking about, but the disadvantages are still enormous, and being left without a load in the middle of the road with a car of more than $80,000 is a pretty important one.
