All about the Porsche Taycan 4S Plus
No longer available
This electric vehicle is no longer in production and not available to buy new. The Porsche Taycan 4S Plus was available from April 2020 until January 2023. Financial data like price, leasing and company car tax were applicable to the final year of availability of the Porsche Taycan 4S Plus.
A new model of the Porsche Taycan 4S Plus (2020) is available: Porsche Taycan 4S Plus (2022).
Pricing
The Porsche Taycan 4S Plus had an On The Road Price (OTR) of £90,406. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery.
Drivetrain and Performance
The Porsche Taycan 4S Plus is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the Porsche Taycan 4S Plus is 420 kW (563 hp). The maximum torque is 479 lb-ft. The Porsche Taycan 4S Plus is all wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 4.0 seconds. The top speed is 155 mph.
Battery and Charging
The battery of the Porsche Taycan 4S Plus has a total capacity of 93.4 kWh. The usable capacity is 83.7 kWh. A range of about 285 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.
For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 210 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 400 mi.
Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 11 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 9 hours. However, a 3-phase grid connection is needed to achieve this. The majority of homes and charge points currently do not have this connection. In most cases the maximum charging power will be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 13 hours 30 minutes and a charge rate of 21 mph. An optional on-board charger with a maximum power of 22.0 kW is available. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 4 hours 30 minutes. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 43 hours.
Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 268 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 216 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 20 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 195 miles of range.
Energy Consumption
The combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Porsche Taycan 4S Plus is about 294 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 138 mpg in a traditional petrol car.
The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 399 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 209 Wh per mile.
CO2 Emission
The Porsche Taycan 4S Plus emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
