Taycan drivers can comfortably charge their vehicles with up to 11 kW of alternating current (AC) at home. On the road, they benefit from the vehicle’s 800-volt technology and the ingenious temperature control strategy for the battery. The Performance Battery Plus allows the vehicle to be charged with higher currents (direct current, DC), thus speeding up the process significantly: in just over five minutes, the battery can be recharged for a range of up to 100 kilometres (according to WLTP). The charging time for five to 80 percent SoC (state of charge) is 22.5 minutes in ideal conditions at 800-volt high-power charging stations, with a maximum charging capacity (peak) of 270 kW.
The Taycan has charge ports in the two front side sections of the body. The vehicle can be charged on both sides using alternating current (in most markets), on the right-hand side it can also be charged using direct current. The connections are protected from the weather by electric charge port doors. A small ice-breaker ensures that they still work in heavy frost. This breaks up ice crusts, clearing the way for the port door. In this case, the port doors are opened by means of hand gesture. Alternatively, the electric charge port doors can also be operated from the interior via the centre console control panel.
