The Porsche Taycan Turbo's EPA Range Of 201 Miles Is So Bad Porsche Requested An Independent Test. When the 2020 Porsche Taycan first debuted as the Mission E concept, the company claimed the car would achieve up to 300 miles of range.

When the Taycan gets its EPA certification, it will likely have a range of around 220 miles. Unfortunately for Porsche, the latest long-range Model S is rated at 370 miles.

Tesla is so far ahead of all makes of cars they will take years to catch up if ever...

BB must have taken a long cruise in the Caribbean to recharge for the winter. Cause battery power is no where near what it needs to be. On a positive note, VW is expanding here in Chattanooga to produce a useless EV. I am sure all the environuts down town that drive less then 10 miles a day to get their soy milk will jump in, even if they could use Uber cheaper.
