At Porsche Centre Nottingham, we believe the best way to understand the future is to experience it — and that’s exactly what our Charged with Experience programme is all about. Over the past few weeks, members of our Sales, Service, Reception, and Management teams have taken part in this exciting initiative, living day-to-day with the fully electric Macan 4 and Taycan 4S Cross Turismo.
Later this year, our Parts and Workshop teams will also take the wheel, gaining their own insights into Porsche’s innovative electric range.
Charging for the First Time
For many of our team members, this was their first hands-on experience with charging an electric vehicle. What began with curiosity — and a few common questions — quickly turned into confidence. From finding local chargers to understanding range planning and charging speeds, our teams quickly learned how intuitive the process can be.
Public charging, rapid charging, and overnight top-ups became second nature, helping to break down the common misconceptions surrounding EV use.
Real-World Journeys
This programme wasn’t just about quick drives around town — it was about truly living with an EV. Our team took the Taycan and Macan on long journeys, including a full trip to London, travel across the Midlands, and a weekend visit to Brands Hatch, where they joined our race team at the circuit to support the action trackside.
Whether it was commuting, visiting family, attending events, or hitting the road for a Porsche Motorsport weekend, these electric models delivered both comfort and performance every step of the way.
Changing Perceptions
A key part of Charged with Experience has been helping our team personally understand — and challenge — the common stigmas that still surround electric vehicles. Concerns around charging infrastructure, performance, and range were all addressed through real-world use, allowing our team to build genuine, first-hand knowledge.
By experiencing the cars as our customers would, they now speak with authenticity about the EV lifestyle — one that’s exciting, accessible, and distinctly Porsche.
An Electrifying Insight
One of the biggest takeaways has been just how versatile and capable these electric models are. From the smooth, dynamic drive of the Taycan 4S Cross Turismo to the practical and powerful Macan 4 Electric, both vehicles handled every situation thrown at them. Daily duties, long-distance trips, and everything in between — these Porsches proved that electric can easily fit into everyday life.
Try It for Yourself
Our Charged with Experience programme continues throughout the year, and we’re excited to keep sharing our journey as more of the team get involved.
