Frequently asked questions
- Which has more range, the Porsche Taycan or the Tesla Model S?
- On the official WLTP cycle the Porsche Taycan is rated 399 mi and the Tesla Model S 403 mi. In cold winter driving (around −10 °C) expect roughly 264 mi from the Porsche Taycan and 267 mi from the Tesla Model S.
- Which electric car is more efficient?
- Efficiency is the WLTP energy use per 100 km, where lower is better — compare the consumption figures in the table above. The more efficient car uses less electricity for the same distance, so it costs less to charge.
