![]() ![]() Like all lithium-ion batteries, the lithium-ion battery in the Porsche Taycan is subject to physical and chemical aging, as well as wear and tear. ![]() AMCI Testing Results for the Taycan models are as follows: - MY21 Taycan – 252 miles - MY21 Taycan with Performance Battery Plus – 282 miles - MY21 Taycan 4S – 247 miles - MY21 Taycan 4S with Performance Battery Plus – 272 miles - MY20 Taycan Turbo with Performance Battery Plus – 275 miles - MY20 Taycan Turbo S with Performance Battery Plus – 278 miles More information on AMCI Testing’s results can be found at: As with all battery-electric vehicles, the actual range of the Taycan will vary based on a number of factors as described above with regard to EPA range estimates. Mode with Auto Regeneration selected and while using the HVAC in Eco mode. ![]() Tested on AMCI Testing’s “City/Highway Commute Cycle” route on public roads in and around Southern California, the results were calculated by averaging the vehicle’s performance over five test cycles. Porsche asked AMCI Testing to conduct independent tests to evaluate the range of the Taycan, Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S to help customers make more informed decisions. These range estimates provide guidelines but the distance you can drive (range) varies considerably based on a number of factors, such as driving conditions and traffic situation (e.g., stop-and-go driving or highway driving), personal driving habits and selected driving mode (e.g., Sport), speed, topography, use of comfort/auxiliary equipment (e.g., air conditioning, heat, etc.), optional equipment (e.g., wheels and tires), weather, outside temperature, number of passengers, cargo, age of vehicle and the battery, battery capacity, and charging habits. The EPA range estimates enable comparison to other electric vehicles. With recuperation braking from 124 mph to 0, electrical energy can be recovered for a range of nearly 2.5 miles. Or to be more precise: during sporty, everyday driving, for example, you could achieve up to a third of your range exclusively from recuperation. So you significantly improve your car's stopping power and the maximum possible amount of kinetic energy is transformed into additional miles of driving pleasure: with an outstanding recuperation output of up to 275kW, energy can be fed back into the battery. This means that brake recuperation is first activated via the brake pedal and the mechanical brake is only engaged when stronger braking is required – intelligently controlled by a braking system that is capable of blending. The system works innovatively and can recuperate up to 90% of the braking energy, always ensuring maximum efficiency. I have not used the neon tubes inside the car, since I'm only interested in practical (not decorative) aspects of ambient lighting for now.For brake energy recuperation in all Taycan models, Porsche developed Porsche Recuperation Management (PRM), which consists of sophisticated brake recuperation. The next step then is to find some strategic positions to stick the light modules inside the car. I also wanted the power window console to be visible at night (so that I can operate window lock button or individual power window buttons). I had a clear requirement - to light up the gear-lever (which is not backlit) so that it is easy for my wife to drive at night. Then its left to your imagination and requirements as to what you can do with this. As mentioned before, you can change both brightness and color. Takes 4 hours if charged from a 230V power source and 8 hours if charged with the help of a laptop.Īfter charging, you need to "synchronize" all 3 light modules and then hit the ON button on the remote. For some reason, I got an impression that I will be getting more than 3 when I saw the Youtube video! The first step is to charge all 3 light modules with USB power source. The first disappointment was when I saw only 3 light modules. This is what you will see when you open up the package. ![]() The LED Ambient kit is Made in Romania, and was shipped to me in 2 weeks by a reseller in Estonia. One of the light modules is not working (but seller is responsive, and we are back and forth on emails on what to do to get it to work) Needs charging and needs to be manually switched ON (as against others that are connected to car battery). Only three spotlights (out of which two can be connected to neon tubes) Same results can be achieved for lot less if you look around at + Comes with a remote to switch ON/OFF, increase or decrease brightness and change color. + Seven color options to match your car's dashboard/instrumentation cluster light + Comes with a couple of neon tubes if you prefer more pizzazz. + You charge the lighting modules with USB and place it anywhere in the car with a double sided tape! + Absolutely no wires means it is ideal for newbies. ![]()
