THE NEW TAYCAN - CHARGING Q&A

With the standard 79.2kWh Performance Battery , the estimated range is up to 431km; if Taycan is equipped with 93.4kWh Performance Plus Battery, the estimated range can reach up to 484km.*
*Varies depending on driving habits.

AC Power Source	0 – 100% Charging Time*
Three-Phase 32A Red Industrial Socket (5-pin)(380V, ~22kW)"	"~4 – 5 hours (with 22kW on-board AC charger) ~8 – 9 hours"
Three-Phase 16A Red Industrial Socket (5-pin)(380V, ~11kW)"	~8 – 9 hours
Singple-Phase 32A Red Industrial Socket (3-pin)(220V, ~7.2kW)"	~13 – 14 hours
Singple -Phase 16A Red Industrial Socket (3-pin)(220V, ~3.6kW)"	~26 – 27 hours
Singple -Phase 13A House-hold Socket(220V, ~2.8kW)"	~32 – 33 hours

With the optional equipped Porsche Mobile Charger Connet (22kW) and our recommended installation partners (EV Power and Shun Hing):

	Porsche Mobile Charger Connect (22kW)	Installation Fee
Situation 1: Power source is ready and only final circuit is required.	Porsche Mobile Charger Connect (22kW)	~ HK$ 6,000 up
Situation 2: Power source is ready and final circuit; leakage current operated protective device and meter installation are required.		~ HK$ 10,000 up
Situation 3: Uncertain about the power source.		~ HK$ 20,000 up (within 20m)

Basically customers could handle the home-charging facilities installation with their commissioned electricians, however the risks of not meeting the required wiring and installation specifications are to be borne by customers.

With the optional Mode 3 Cable, you could charge your Taycan at over 2,700 public EV charging station including 370 Quick Charge stations and 1,200 Semi-Quick Charge stations.

Drivers can charge their Taycan at below approximate time via various public EV charging stations and shopping malls carparks:

Number of charging station eligible for Taycanh	Range of 1-hour charging*	Time required to charge for 100km*
Around 50 DC Quick-Charge (CCS DC Combo)	~230km	~25mins
Around 280 AC Quick-Charge (IEC 62196)	~80 km (with 22kW on-board AC charger)	~60 – 80mins (with 22kW on-board AC charger)
Around 1,200 AC Semi-Quick Charge (IEC 62196)	~45 km (11kW) ~29 km (7.2kW)	~2-3 hours (11kW) ~3-4 hours (7.2kW)

*The number of charging stations is as of January, 2021.

Due to the nature of physics and chemistry, the closer the battery is fully charged, the slower the charging rate it would be. Under quick-charge it is advised to charge only to a level with sufficient driving range and not to 100%. You can imagine charging a battery is like finding a spot in a carpark, if the carpark is empty it is faster to find a spot; but when the carpark is nearly full, it takes more time to find a empty spot. This theory applies to charging your Taycan. It is also better for battery maintenance to keep the battery not fully charged for a long period of time.

Different from combustion engine vehicles, electric vehicles can recuperate up to 90% of braking energy and energy can be fed back into the battery and transformed into additional miles of driving pleasure. On the new Taycan the outstanding recuperation output of up to 265kW is the result of the innovative Porsche Recuperation Management (PRM) which originates from Formula E technologies. This innovation has greatly increase the performance efficiency and reduce the depreciation of braking system and maintenance costs.

The left side (passenger side) of the charging port is compatible with DC charger while both sides charging ports are compatible with AC charger.
