Porsche did a fun range challenge involving its Porsche Taycan in Sport Sedan, Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo variants in either 4S, Turbo or Turbo S configurations. The challenge was 690 miles-long and started from Koblach, Austria, through Ingolstadt, Germany, before circling back to the starting point.

Participants had to use only four Porsche charging points and were split into groups of two. After all, driving more than 620 miles in a day is a challenge in any kind of vehicle.

The point was to implement different charging strategies while still aiming to reach the finish in the shortest time possible.

As per WLTP data, all three versions of the Taycan can get close to 373 miles on a single charge, so drivers would have to aim at around 21.5 kWh/100 km average consumption to make it to the finish line.

Everyone used different charging strategies, but at the end of the day, the fastest duo reached the destination in 11 hours, with 80% charge left. The Taycan 4S Cross Turismo averaged 25 kWh/100 km at an average speed of around 100 km/h. At a kilowatt hour cost of just $0.46 (Porsche's Charging Service with lower price rates was used), the trip cost was only $146 with the vehicle charged back to 100%. That makes a total consumption of 320 kWh. If an ICE vehicle was used, it would have set them back around twice as much for the same distance, Porsche estimates.

Yeah sure. Meanwhile in real world testing (B.Nyland 1000 km challenge) BYD loses even to VW, not mentioning Tesla. CLTC is a joke. And im yet to see some real world 5C charging..
