Porsche Taycan fast charging at Tesla Supercharger v2

[@OenkePoenke]

When the Taycan can be parked in the way you show, so the cable reaches to it's charge port, it wouldn't block any other Tesla Superchargers, even if you chose any other stall, as front right (Taycan) and rear left (Teslas) are generally the same position*, only that the car is parked the other way around. *the charger in both cases is on the right "sidewalk" position of the car when viewed from the driveway. Thanks for demonstrating this, Felix!

Nice Video, poor Taycan, soooo dirty :D

Hahahhaha daily family driver, the real life :>

@@electricfelix your broken phone also? :>

[@TheElectricMan]

cool taycan

[@yomofo97]

Your airplane mode is on buddy

[@and1111000]

Lekker video, thanks. Was that 78 cents for 11 kilometres? Looking forward to the high speed charger test.

[@GuidoFrederiks]

Your phone display shows: Tesla Supercharger Breukelen, Netherlsnds 150 KW max (at 6:11 minutes) So 123KW is not that bad I guess

[@KIA_E-NIRO_MY20]

Tesla superchargers only give 410 Voltage, and the battery of the taycan is a 800 Voltage battery. Then does it have to be converted to 800 volts by the car itself, and I think that's why the car doesn't charge ultra fast...

[@dufonrafal]

Yes it has to convert to 800V. I believe that know all the Taycan have a 150kW DC/DC converter but originally it was an option so some will only charge at 50kW.

[@ddmvgaming932]

No the Taycan has 2 400 volts battery units that the onboard charging controlunit reedo to 800V . That's why Porsche and Audi GT can charge at Tesla station and Kia has problems with there 800 volts cars.

[@KIA_E-NIRO_MY20]

Okay interesting, yeah kia cars with their 800V batteries do have problems. But this porsche Tycan can charge with more than 200kW. So it won't do the full charging speed

[@ddmvgaming932]

@KIA_E-NIRO_MY20 Yes the GT / Taycan can charge up to 270 kmh

[@abraxastulammo9940]

Tesla app should know gps location without having to zoom around imho.

[@electricfelix]

there's no SIM in my Android, maybe that doesn't help...

[@hakonsof]

Nice parking 😁

[@goetzingert]

Damn with my Model S it takes Not a Second between Plugin and Charge. Tesla this has to be enhanced

[@theadventureinsider]

That’s because Tesla runs an independent network that works with third-party apps. Other manufacturers don’t have a network that’s nearly as advanced.

[@shazmalik1]

The main reason holding me back from moving from my Tesla to a Taycan is the lack of charging network in the UK to support the car. The Tesla network was my only hope for the Taycan, but that was a painful and slow experience!

[@bardo0007]

For me it's the price 😃

[@kengormley4530]

pull up alongside

[@hanspetereidnesandersen8384]

What about trying the same trick with an I-Pace ? Maybe same issue on relative low SuC voltage. And the chargeport location diskussion / challenge.

[@electricfelix]

I like it, I will ask if I can borrow an I-Pace somewhere, rental prices have been going nuts recently!

[@cbatiau2528]

So no way to charge without a smartphone?

[@ladenree31]

It won’t be possible to plug your car in many SUC because you will not beable to climb the edge.

[@electricfelix]

I will test more NL locations with more vehicles absolutely!

[@thomasjacques5286]

Dam those CCS plugs are BIG and CLUNKY.

[@samuelgroome3387]

not really... What are you expecting? High current demands thick cabling and taht means, a thicker connector. CCS is awesome.

[@earlpottinger671]

@@samuelgroome3387 Look at the Tesla connector next time to see the difference.

[@70s80sVintage]

I filled up my Porsche Panamera with Premium Unleaded in 1/4 of the duration of this video. Tell me again why EV's (powered by electricity but sourced entirely by coal, natural gas, petroleum, and diesel is better? And don't get me started on wind turbines that never, ever pay for themselves and the energy required to make them!

[@SISTIC1]

Supposedly to reduce harmful fumes escaping into the atmosphere-global warming stuff. But you’re right, electricity is mostly produced via combustibility, which contributes to the very thing governments want to reduce: harmful gases! But the way things are going we’ll all be long dead by a nuclear WW3 exchange anyway!

[@hadiorabi692]

In an ICE the engine converts only 25% of the energy generated from fuel. The rest goes to heat, which affects other components of the car. In en EV, the energy consumed by the powertrain itself is close to 90% and only 10% is used as heat. So components last way longer, and utilization for our finite resources is much higher (I personally care about the first part more tbh)

[@sfminers2534]

It’s cheaper

[@70s80sVintage]

Nope - not even close@@sfminers2534 I have four friends that have EVs and their cars have been in the shop - collectively - for 46 weeks. My car has NEVER been in the shop - travels 600 miles on a tank of gas easily. So I call B.S.

[@RobJT]

My 0-60 in 5 seconds Taycan is cheaper to run than my old 1.5l diesel A-class. Is that a good reason? I charge it overnight so I never have to stop anywhere to fuel my car. Good reason?

[@BigLebowski1337]

Why would you want to do this.. just to be off cheaper? I don’t get it. Typical Dutch trying to save a few cents whereas spending way over 100K on a car.

[@rubenfilian8629]

How can a homeless guy afford this car?
