Meet the Taikan Cross Turismo at the Porsche Turbo Charging Station in Toranomon Hills ~

CHAdeMO @ Toranomon Hills

By the way, on this day, I was excited to head to the underground parking lot of Toranomon Hills in Minato-ku, Tokyo.

I parked my car in a vacant place in the underground parking lot, but hmm, this is what I call Vesposito.

Can you see that the back, which you can see through the parked Porsche 911, is shining brightly?

Yes! !!

A bright and brightly lit "parking lot, but only this corner is somewhat futuristic" that you can see in the back,That is "Porsche Turbo Charging Station"..

It is a so-called CHAdeMO standard quick charger facility.

This time, not only did I come to visit this Porsche Turbo Charging Station, but at the same time as I visited the charging facility, I also showed Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo ^ ^

Taycan Cross Turismo is a CUV (Cross Utility Vehicle)

As you've become accustomed to, the Taycan is Porsche's first fully electric vehicle.

The latest model, the Taycan Cross Turismo. * The model I met this time is the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo.

It is a model called CUV (Cross Utility Vehicle) that Porsche can say that it emphasizes lifestyle, which enables off-road driving.

CUV is not a SUV, but I wonder if it can be used in a wider range of situations (including off-road) than a normal Taycan.

When I first met this Taycan Cross Turismo on that day, the height of the Taycan was high, so it looked very tall.

State when this is up ↓

If you lower it with "Push" ...

Oh, it's kind of cooler ^^

By the way, the minimum ground clearance is 20 mm higher than the normal Taycan model (in the off-road design package, it is 10 mm higher at the middle chassis level).

Taycan Cross Turismo, I don't know if it's okay to say "large is also small" when you actually see it in front of you, but if you can secure a parking lot where you can put a Taycan of this size , I thought that Taycan Cross Turismo might be convenient.

Taycan 4 Cross Turismo Size:
Overall height: 1,409 mm
Vehicle width: 1,967 mm
Wheelbase: 2,904 mm
Overall length: 4,974 mm

By the way

Base model Taycan size:
Overall height: 1,395 mm
Vehicle width: 1,966 mm
Wheelbase: 2,900 mm
Overall length: 4,963 mm

Is the part from the roof to the rear also a spoiler? Perhaps because there is, it looks nice and stylish.

The trunk looks like this.

What impressed me was the option like this trunk liner.

By pulling out the cover laid on the trunk to the front, it is possible to put in and take out luggage in the trunk without soiling or damaging the car body.

If you use Taycan Cross Turismo for outdoor use, I thought this was a must-have option.

Furthermore, the lower part of the front part of the trunk could be opened.

Since this car had BOSE, it was about this space because BOSE woofer was installed, but if you can not put options such as BOSE, this space seems to be deeper ↓

So far, you have shown the Taycan Cross Turismo, but who did you show it to ... That's it! Yes, Mr. Alexander Kworth of Porsche Japan.

Wow, it's been a long time. Alex ^^

That's why I showed you Sanzan Taikan Cross Turismo. Thank you very much.

The inside of the car is also futuristic.

• 

The curved display in front of the driver's seat is 16.8 inches, which is very easy to see.

A head-up display can be displayed as an option.

This time, I got on the Taycan and confirmed the point that I was a little personally interested in, but what is it about the "gasoline refueling port" mark.

Normally, in the case of a gasoline car, the arrow attached to the gas station mark where the remaining amount of gasoline (cruising distance display) is displayed so that you can tell whether the fuel filler port of the car is on the left or right side of the car. It has become.

However, Taycan is not refueling, but there are charging ports on the left and right. The driver's seat side is for normal charging, and the passenger's seat side is for quick charging.

Reference article:The charging ports of Porsche Taycan were on both sides of the car body!

Then, what is the arrow on the gas station mark on the cruising distance display inside the car? …When.

I took a look.

Well, here is the place where the gas station display is like a so-called gasoline car! It seems that there was no such thing, and the only thing I could find was the gas station display here.

After all, there was no arrow indicating where the refueling (charging) port is located ↓

... and I'm sorry I don't care again (laughs).

• 

The cup holder seems to be easy to use.

It seems that this watch can also display the north, south, east and west directions.

I'm still relying on navigation, so I don't know if I actually have the opportunity to use this function, but I wonder if this is also a useful function for serious outdoor enthusiasts ^^?

If you buy it, it may be Taycan Cross Turismo

I thought about the case where my family considered buying Taycan, but in that case I came to the conclusion that I would use this Taycan Cross Turismo.

Because I wanted to use Taycan as a family, so I thought it would be better to make this model that 5 people can ride relatively comfortably in my family of 5 people. ..

Even if you sit in the back seat, the ceiling is high and the panoramic roof is open and the best (I'm sorry it's hard to understand because the inside of the car is reflected a little ... Almost the entire roof feels like glass) ↓

This panoramic roof, if the roof were so glass, wouldn't it be hot on a summer day? I thought, but that is never the case.

I would like to write about this separately, but even when I measured the temperature, this panoramic roof did not make the inside of the car hot.

I was allowed to sit in the back seat as well, but at that time I found something like this under the passenger seat that was amiami ↓

I don't know anything, maybe to cool the battery underneath. ?? I thought, but this was the air conditioner outlet.

That's right (laughs). Air conditioner from such a place!

Charge the taican

Now then, let me tell you how to charge the Taycan.

This is a CHAdeMO standard compatible quick charger.

Currently it is still 90kW, but it will be 150kW in the near future.

There is an app that you can use when you become a Taycan owner ...

You can search for charging stations that can charge Taycan with the app.

With this feeling, the Porsche Turbo Charging Station of Toranomon Hills this time is also displayed.

If you decide to charge it here, select Start.

There is a QR code on the CHAdeMO main unit, so read that.

Pip.

Then select a charging plan. At this time, it is a monthly membership plan (plan types will be omitted).

Charging starts when the plan is recognized.

This is the first time I have connected the charger to the Taycan.

Until now, I've only had a charger, so ^^

When I plugged the charger into the Taycan, the round part on the charging port glowed white.

Taycan is also recognized by the charger ...

Finally, charging will start.

By the way, the round part on this charging port glows white when the connection is confirmed ...

It turns red when it detects any error ↓

And when charging starts without any problem, it glows green ↓

You can also check the charging status of your Taycan with the charger ↓

Of course, you can check it in the car ↓

If you want to stop charging on the way, you can stop it ↓

When the charging is completed (finished), it will tell you "It's finished".

For me, who has never owned an electric car, it was the first time for me and it was a very fresh experience.

In the future, I thought that charging itself would be easy (if there were no errors) if the charging facilities were improved more and more, so I thought it would be convenient to use an electric car ^ ^

The Taycan Cross Turismo was also very nice!

It was a very valuable experience for me to study a lot and to meet the wonderful Taycan Cross Turismo.

One day, I would like to own and experience Porsche hybrids, full electric vehicles, etc. ^ ^

Thank you very much!
