Electric vehicles are the wave of the future in the automotive industry. Porsche is on the cutting edge of high-performance electric vehicles with the Porsche Taycan. Our manufacturing partner has developed an approved aftermarket vehicle charging upgrade that will reduce charging times. A Mark Motors Porsche product expert will be able to help you update your current Taycan or ensure the one you want to take home has the additional equipment. Let’s take a closer look at this available technology.
A Porsche Taycan with the previous 19.2-kilowatt charging equipment can replenish the battery system from zero to 100% in a little more than nine hours. The updated charging feature uses the same 19.2-kw input but reduces the charging time to 4.8 hours. Additionally, if your Porsche Taycan uses a Performance Battery Plus system, the upgrade can reduce charging time by almost half, from 10.5 hours to 5.3 hours.
According to the information available from Porsche, the charging system upgrade is currently available for 2020 Taycan models. Appointments to have the system installed can be made through the Mark Motors Porsche Service Department. When a Taycan owner comes to us to have this upgrade, our technicians will need to keep the vehicle for a while. It takes about 12 hours of labour to install everything. The new charging equipment will be installed through the vehicle’s front trunk.
Mark Motors Porsche customers looking at newer versions of the Taycan can choose to have the enhanced charging system installed during the buying process. While working with one of our product experts, simply ask for the KB4 option during the building phase, and everything will be ready to go.
There is a lot to consider when buying or leasing a Porsche vehicle. Learn more about enhanced charging systems and more by making an appointment with a Mark Motors Porsche product expert, today.
