My Porsche Taycan’s HV Battery Tested and Here Are The Results!

[@MarlonFamilton]

Interesting stuff. thanks for sharing. Glad your Taycan is up and running!

[@MrEfection]

Thank you, Sir!

Thanks for your videos! NICE views

[@MrEfection]

Thank you, Sir!

7% degradation at ~40K km right? I say a bit higher than I'm comfortable with, if you watch Teslas are degrading

[@MrEfection]

This test isn’t accurate because the car is not 2 years old yet. It’s too early. Every HV battery has to do a number of cycles in order to provide an accurate result. I did 40k km in less than 1.5 yrs. I’ll test more Taycans with more km and years of ownership to compare the tests, thank you si much!

I think that if the taycan was charged with the limiter at 200kw on dc where it will be charged 80% at the same time as an EQS,i7 or model s it would only degrade by 4-5%, but those charging sessions at 80 % in just 20 minutes, indeed it affects the battery very badly, as it exceeds the temperature of 50C in the battery for a long time, but in the end that's cool about the taycan, because you can take short breaks on a long road trip like with a gas car

@@victorc.979 i don’t really think its my case because I charged a handful times at 300 kW. Those 2 trips only.

[@victorc.979]

@@MrEfection Well, yes, but think about it, when you went to Budapest you charged 3 times at 270kw stations, and on the recent trip ~15 times at 270kw, which is something, also from what I know , you charge quite often at 150kw, but that doesn't really affect the battery

[@ibsg9751]

Another reason why the degradation can be higher than teslas is the much higher recuperation. Maybe there is a comparable stress for HV battery like charging the car on a HPC. Just a thought.

[@theeALister]

I noticed that in one of your other videos you mentioned regularly charging to 100%. Would you still recommend that advice or do you regret that decision now? Would love to know your thoughts.

[@MrEfection]

Hey! Good catch! I’m regularly charging to 100% because I immediately drive 250 km afterwards. Let’s say I charge to 100% 2 times per month because I need every percentage. When I’m not traveling, I limit the charging to 85% and never below 15-10%. My battery routine is normal I would say. I would blame the “lower” percentage on the low km and very “new” MY. My friend with a Taycan Turbo got 95% after 100.000km and similar charging behaviour. It will be interesting if this value will increase or decrease at the next milestone which will be 75.000km.

@@MrEfection Understood, thank you for taking the time to explain.

[@MrEfection]

@@theeALister anytime!

Useless Test, you can read all of it from OBD for free

[@MrEfection]

If you read from the OBD you will get inaccurate data, I already showed you that SoH from the manufacturer is 90,81%, and measured is 93,2 in not friendly conditions. And it is not free, Porsche will charge you 100 euros.
