porsche taycan

Porsche’s electric range claim for the Taycan Turbo have been dealt a blow by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The government agency has assessed the mid-range Taycan and determined its total electric range to be just 201 miles (323km). That’s substantially lower than the Porsche’s 450km rating under the WLTP cycle, identical to the rating of the Tesla Model S Standard Range.

The new Porsche Taycan wagon has been spied with a minimal amount of disguise during testing in Germany. Given the Panamera wagon is branded as the Sport Turismo, it seems likely the same name will be used for the Taycan's wagon sibling. With its longer, flatter roof, the Sport Turismo should have better rear headroom, more boot space and improved load-carrying ability than the regular Taycan sedan.
