Taycan

The Porsche Taycan is a 5-seat saloon with rear-wheel drive, sold new from 2021 to 2023, when it cost £75,500 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.4 seconds, quicker than 66% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 255 miles (410 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 49% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 45th of 48 saloons.

It uses around 3.6 mi/kWh (173 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 71 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 171 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 317 miles (510 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2021 example is estimated at £20,700–£25,700 and a 2023 one at £28,700–£31,700, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2021 car should still manage about 231 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
