How to Road Trip in a Taycan - Tips & Suggestions

[designrs]

Study how the Taycan EV Canonball Run record holder charged if you want to save time!

I know the Tesla best cross-country results come from charging with fast and frequent stops.... charging on the lower portion of the battery where a faster charge is accepted.

The top of the battery, 65% plus, is much slower to charge..

Stopping every 3 hours or so isn’t bad for a bio break!

I made an abbreviated TikTok version of my charging session from 1% to 81% (actually 83 but dropped due to HVAC). 23min with. outside temp 52F (11C). Car preconditioned battery to 92F (33C) on arrival. Leaving at 70% would be better but I hadn't finished my grocery shopping.

Strange business.

I have the same problem, too much range, charging too fast...

Well that is strange, here is the YouTube version if you didn’t see it. It has 2 sessions, not as impressive when I start at 11%.

it's a real shame the EA chargers don't work - that makes the video's boring showing nothing but dysfunctional chargers…

those videos are awesome - good job @ron_b

At 2% SoC kickoff to 230 kW, wow!!! And then to 80% SoC in exactly 22 min.

You must be happy, because a 22 min break from driving goes by very quickly...
