The myth about how you can’t use an electric car for long trips continues to circulate, so Porsche decided to do something about it. According to Business Insider, the 2,834-mile (4,560km) long trip was carefully planned to take advantage of high power chargers along the route. Driving an electric car does require a bit more planning for trips than a gasmobile does. But it showed that electric car road trips are perfectly doable.
It can accept a charging rate of 350 kilowatts, allowing it to add 75% of its battery capacity in 22.5 minutes, according to Porsche. At one stop, the Taycan took just 22 minutes to charge from 6% to 82%, the company said. That, friends, is some fast charging.
The point also is, that batteries are getting better, and chargers are getting better. For 99% of normal use to work and back, and leisure, the capacity is just never going to be all used in a single trip. An overnight charge at home with a 220V charger is just going to be fine. It's going to get better, not worse, over time.
