Welcome to the Forum and congratulations for a great car.

If my experience of driving through Germany is anything to go by, you will have a lot of working HPC around. It looks like Netherlands is extremely dense with many charging networks, Fastned, Allego, Ionity etc. If they all are working as well as the ones I used in Germany, your experience will be like driving an ICE car.

Hope for a great delivery experience.

Welcome @GerhardF . Great choice of color. I live in the US for more than 20 years now but I was born in Hasselt, not too far from Aachen.

@GerhardF greetings! New member here. Signed up because I will be visiting Aachen this summer, and found your post via a search and have a few questions.

1. I plan to rent a Taycan (possibly from Porsche Drive) and will the car have enough space for 2 large luggages?

2. Are charging stations convenient to find in Aachen? If so, are they usually occupied for a while or do I have to keep circling around for an open spot?

Thanks very much.

Good evening "carnut" to LA,

yes, I think the Taycan has a very usefull space for luggage, and in this forum you can see a lot/some pictures of this space - please investigate for this. It depends a little what you mean with "large" - may be that your wife needs a lot of luggage on journeys? :)

If this is true: You can fold over the back seats in direction to the front seats, and then there is a lot of room for your heavy load.

In respect of charging stations: There are not problems here at all: Nearby there is in a 5 km- distance a very popular Ionity-Station with four CCS 350 KW points, situated on the motorway from Aachen to Cologne - Service-Station "Aachener Land" - each on both sides of the motorway: There you can charge at each 4 points, and you will not have any waiting-problems, that works good and quickly.

On the other hand you can charge at a EnBW-Station within the city, with two CCS 150 KW-points. And there are 4 points on the dutch side of the nearby-border too, nearby 5 km, with all four with 175 KW, where you can charge quickly too.

If you need help I can send you before the exact data of that stations.

And if you are here in the city, I can help you if help is neccessary and we can meet together to have a look at the historical center of the city?

I hope I gave you some overview of situation here. I wish you a very pleasent preparation of your journey to Europe - why not with your 991GT3??? -- ..... ok..... there is only a little space for luggage, but a great engine-sound !!!! :clap:

@GerhardF Appreciate the information! Yes I found more pictures of the trunk space. The foldable seat feature helps. If I have more questions, I will DM you as the date draws nearer if you don't mind.

Wished I can ship my GT3 to Germany! Would love to drive it on the Ring.

PS: Just realize you're into Lotus. Same here. ;)

Beautiful car Gerhard! I'll finally be collecting my own Dolomite Silver Taycan on Friday. I also went with the 21" Exclusive Design wheels, but painted in Dolomite Silver. Looking at your photo I'm having second thoughts though 😂
