Porsche has quite recently reported that one of its Taycan cars has broken the across-the-nation charging record for electric vehicles. The Taycan was driven from one coast to another and it just went through 2.5 hours of charging; this record is affirmed by Guinness World Records and noticed that it was a significant enhancement for the old record that remained at 7 hours, 10 minutes, and 1 second.
Presently Porsche had the option to drop that number, accomplished by a Kia EV6, to 2 hours, 26 minutes, and 48 seconds, which was to the point of taking the vehicle the entire 2,834.5 miles (4,562 km) from before the New York City Hall to the Los Angeles City Hall.
Wayne Gerdes, with a few Guinness World Records, added to his repertoire, was the driver and he said
Comparing charging performance from a variety of EVs I have driven to date, the Taycan sets the bar. The first time I charged on a 350KW charger, 6 to 82 percent occurred in just 22-minutes.
Wayne utilized Plug Share and the Electrify America application to outline his excursion across the expansiveness of the country. The vehicle he drove was the standard Taycan with the discretionary Performance Battery Plus choice (the 93.4 kWh pack), which additionally included solace bundles to make the long excursion more wonderful (the Premium Package, Adaptive Cruise Control, and the Porsche Electric Sport Sound). His first words subsequent to taking the record were
I’m proud and honestly a little surprised to have set the new benchmark by such a margin. The Taycan performed even better than expected.
Its performance, comfort, and road-holding were excellent, but the standout metric alongside the charging capacity was its efficiency. I’m grateful to both Porsche for supporting me and to Electrify America’s network, which made it possible.
Presently which EV do you suppose has the stuff to take the record from Porsche? Would Mercedes’s new EQS be able to get it done, or regardless of whether it, will it hold the record until Lucid chooses its Air, the world’s longest-range electric vehicle, has the stuff to take it?
Tell us what you think in the remarks.
