InsideEVs recently published a comment on Bjorn Nyland - who I respect - testing the range of Audi's e-Tron GT:
https://insideevs.com/news/510307/audi-etron-gt-bjorn-range/
Towards the end, the article refers to Nyland's earlier range tests with a Taycan 4S and his observations that the Taycan's 93 kWh battery respectively showed an 86.9 and 86.1 kWh usable capacity in his two runs. Porsche officially states a 83.7 kWh usable portion of the battery but during my own runs I also got the strong impression that this usable capacity was larger, although it is difficult to pinpoint it exactly given charging losses etc. Could this also be a spec where Porsche under-promises and overdelivers? Or is the usable capacity a pretty fixed given? Can a lay person measure it? Has any of the forum members done so?
