Free charge for Porsche Taycan purchasers for 3 years

Well, it was announced that if you purchase a new Porsche Taycan electric car, charging to the Taycan will be free for the first three years after purchasing the Taycan.

... butStory in Americabut.

By the way, it seems that the cost of free charging for the past 3 years is included in the selling price of Taycan (← By doing so, only the selling price of Taycan in the United States will be insanely high ... Isn't it? )).

Electrify America's fast charging stations that can charge Porsche Taycan are in 484 locations nationwide

Through a partnership with charging network company "Electrify America", which was born from Volkswagen's diesel exhaust problem

"Electrify in 300 highway service areas across 42 states in the United States and 184 metro areas with at least two (5 on average, 10 at most) 350 kW chargers. You'll be able to charge for free for 30 minutes at one of America's fast charging stations. "

It seems that ... Free for 3 years and unlimited number of charges.

By equipping this kind of equipment, it will be possible to run through the continental United States from right to left with Taycan without worrying that there is no charging place. ← While charging on the way.

In addition, a charging system for home use is under development (Porsche designed 9.6 to 19.2 kW home charger).

Porsche Taycan can be charged faster than Tesla

"Porsche's new electric car, the Taycan, will charge faster than Tesla," North American Porsche leader Klaus Zellmer told Bloomberg.

Below, from the North American Porsche press release and other articles such as Bloomberg. Source information is listed at the end of the page.

----------------------------------

-Porsche, known for the "speed and power" of cars, is now focusing on "passing Tesla in the charging time of electric cars" to sell Taycan.

With an 800 volt battery capable of fast charging of 350 kW and a combined charging system (CCS) plug, the Taycan is only at maximum speed.You can charge enough to run 60 miles (about 100 km) in 4 minutes..

This is Tesla's Super Charging Station, which charges 120 kW, much faster than charging the battery's approximately 80% in about 30 minutes.

In addition to the 300 high-speed service area fast-charging stations installed or planned to be built by July 1, 2019, 120 Porsche dealers nationwide will be able to offer fast-charging in early 2020. To do so.

・ For the time being, a quick charger (turbocharger) has already been installed at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta, and will be installed at the Porsche Experience Center in Los Angeles.

-Porsche is expected to spend 70 million dollars (about 7.62 billion yen) on investment in dealer's charging equipment.

-More than half of Porsche's car lineup will have "outlets (plugs)" by 2025.

-The Taycan's specs are 600 horsepower, 0-100 km is expected to be 3.5 seconds, and the mileage on a full charge is 310 miles (about 500 km = 498 km).

-In order to meet high demand, the worldwide production of Taycan will be increased from the original plan of 20,000 to 40,000.

・ Although the number of people who paid the deposit "2,500 dollars (about 270,000 yen)" to purchase Taycan is not announced, 2/3 of the people after that are not the current Porsche owners (people who purchase Porsche for the first time) Etc.).

-According to a Porsche dealer in Maryland, 25 to 30 people have made reservations for Taycan from that dealer, but they are more than the idea of "electric car for the earth". Is a person who normally likes sports cars (not the current Tesla owner), owns a luxury car, just thinks that the next "Kiteru" in the era is Taycan, and wants to buy it I feel like I'm there.

・ Taycan will be sold at the end of 2019 (North America).

What happens to Porsche charging stations in Japan?

Since the land is large in the United States, Porsche dealers in the United States suddenly said from the Porsche headquarters, "Because 120 Porsche dealers in the United States will be equipped with quick chargers, thank you!" It may be possible to deal with it while saying "!", But in Japan (especially in the city center), "Please install at least two charging stations at each Porsche dealer!", Porsche suddenly Even if the head office says, I am worried that there are many dealers who can not cope with the size of the land / facility.

No, of course I'm not worried ^^

But what happens in Japan, including such charging stations? ?? I can't imagine it at all ...

By the way, I'm interested in Taycan as a "Porsche electric car", but if I want to buy it ... after all ... well, I'm still not in that mood.

Porsche 911 GT3's Dogon! It seems that it is quite impossible while listening to the engine sound like that and the sound of the sports exhaust of 911 Carrera and making noise every day saying "Hmm, it's too great !!" ^ ^
