Porsche Reveals Battery Secrets That Make The Taycan Go Further And Charge Faster
"For starters, the Taycan's range increased from a maximum of 246 miles for model year 2024 to more than 300 miles for the current model year. Its peak charging rate also increased from 270 kilowatts to 320 kW, reducing the 10-80% charging time by roughly 3.5 minutes when plugged into a fast enough DC fast charger. Behind the scenes, Porsche made a raft of changes to make all of that possible."
"The automaker said in a press release on Tuesday that it had improved the Taycan's thermal management. The cell modules now use passive cooling, which is basically cooling that doesn't rely on extra pumps or moving parts. Porsche also redesigned the cooling plate that can pull heat away much faster, from 6 kilowatts before to 10 kW now. That means the battery can handle high temperatures more reliably without overheating."
Porsche increased the Taycan's real-world driving range and charging performance for model year 2025. Range rose from a 246-mile maximum to over 300 miles. Peak DC fast-charging power increased from 270 kW to 320 kW, cutting 10–80% charging time by roughly 3.5 minutes on sufficiently powerful chargers. Thermal management was improved with passive-cooled cell modules and a redesigned cooling plate that increased heat removal from 6 kW to 10 kW. Thicker bus bars were installed to move more current through the pack and support higher charging rates. Early battery issues were addressed through these engineering changes.
