Those things are usually powered by the 12V battery and if that gets flat than you couldn't activate/charge the HV battery anyway. It gets annoying if the 12V battery dies but you also have that problem with (some) modern ICE cars.

So if it completely runs out of charge, is there any way of opening the electrically operated cover to access the charging port?

Ports runs off 12v battery not the High voltage pack. There is an emergency manual release if the 12v battery is flat as well.

If it is all electric how is it a turbo? Fan cooled while battery charges or did Porsche have some left over boot badges?

[@connergrim7913]

Turbo because it's a faster trim- Taycan also has Turbo models.

[@hedydd2]

If the current model is indicative of depreciation, this will lose at least 75% of its value over less than three years. This one probably costs £150,000 near enough to buy, so in three year’s time it will have lost £110,000 or about £3000/month. I can think of better ways to burn £3000/month.
