Our coverage of the all-new Porsche Taycan continues with a closer look at the 800V internal and charging infrastructure on-board to streamline and future-proof the Taycan. The Porsche Taycan will launch as the first production car to utilise an 800V operating and charging infrastructure. It's a huge step forward for electric vehicles because it allows faster and higher capacity charging without the need for thicker, heavier cables – good for a weight saving of around 4.0kg.

Alex Misoyannis • Extensive details pertaining to the upcoming all-electric Porsche Taycan have emerged. The information comes from British publication CAR magazine, whose European editor Georg Kacher hitched a ride in a prototype Taycan up the hill at the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The Porsche Taycan has been teased for the second time in as many weeks, this time with a set of actual photos in place of the sketches. In the latest series of artfully shot and camouflaged photos, the sports car maker has been keen to highlight all the similarities between its upcoming electric sedan and the iconic 911 coupe.

Initial demand for the Porsche Taycan is strong enough for the company to approve an increase in production capacity, as well as new variants. To be built at a plant in Zuffenhausen, near the company's headquarters, output was initially set at 20,000 cars per year.

The Porsche Taycan has been spied wearing a little bit less camouflage, and a few more production design pieces. Although false body panels, printouts and tape obscure the look of the headlight and taillight units, we can see one of the Taycan's production alloy wheel designs for the first time.
