Hi everybody. One of my first posts here. Very nice forum with lots of useful information.

I have a X5 45e and looking to switch to a Taycan CT 4. I do most trips on electric now with 65 km range on a full charge. So in daily use the Taycan will be perfect. First test drive next week.

Only thing that worries me are the winter (Belgium Austria in 1 day)and summer holidays (Belgium Northen Italië / Austria / Switzerland in 2 days). Trunk space is smaller so I think I will need a roof box.

Would someone like to share their experience with road trips with a roof box and how they planned and navigated the trip and average KWH / 100 km during the trip. Any negative experience?

Any idea what range can be expected with a roof box and driving at 0 degr Celsius on the highway.

Here is one report for you. Not sure about the temperature though.
