Battery-electric vehicles are a smart choice for Kitchener-Waterloo residents.
The Kitchener-Waterloo region is a phenomenal place to call home. Its proximity to major highways, recreational centres, schools and ample employment opportunities make it an ideal area in Southern Ontario to put down roots. If you’re here reading this, you probably already know it.
What's more, the KW region is quickly becoming one of the best spots in the country for battery-electric vehicle (BEV) ownership. With access to luxury automotive dealerships like Porsche Centre Kitchener-Waterloo combined with a vast regional charging network and an engaged community of like-minded enthusiasts, it’s never been a better time to be a Porsche BEV owner.
Robust charging network
Porsche’s Destination Charging program is one of the best parts of BEV ownership. It means you can recharge your vehicle at any partnering facility, including fine dining restaurants, hotels, golf clubs and spas. You’ll get some downtime while your vehicle is charging up.
There are a few places to charge your BEV around Kitchener-Waterloo. Langdon Hall (1 Langdon Drive in Cambridge), the luxury spa and resort property, hosts the area’s first Destination Charging port, and The Pearle Hotel, an Autograph hotel property in Burlington, also has a Porsche Destination Charging port. Additionally, there are more coming soon within the Kitchener-Waterloo community, and existing ones within the Greater Toronto Area.

Quick charging times
Once you find yourself a suitable charging port for your Porsche, you shouldn’t be waiting long. The charging time of Porsche BEVs like the Taycan is unmatched, thanks to the high-voltage charging system. It uses 800-volt architecture, which means the Taycan BEV can go from a 5% to 80% charge in under 23 minutes.
Luxury BEVs in Kitchener-Waterloo
The Porsche Taycan is a brilliant machine that handles just as well as its combustion counterparts, like the 911. It’s arguably more fun to drive, too, thanks to its power and prowess on the road. With a 420-kW motor that uses a lithium ion battery capable of producing 472 lb-ft torque, the Taycan BEV will comfortably go from zero to 100 km/h in just four seconds.
Like-minded community
We’re excited about the future of automotive and the push towards an electric future. As such, we’re pleased to offer a variety of Taycans BEVs ready to be explored at Porsche Centre Kitchener-Waterloo and our dealership makes the entire process, from test driving to ownership, stress free and exciting.
Further, we understand that the following behind the Taycan and BEV ownership is strong in Kitchener-Waterloo. It’s our mission to bring together a tight-knit community of BEV owners in the KW region. Most recently, we hosted an exclusive destination test drive to Cambridge’s Langdon Hall. Bryce Green, our Sales Manager, guided clients through an intimate walk-through of the Taycan line-up as well as a demonstration of the on-site Porsche Destination Charging port.
