The four-door electric sedan that thinks it’s a GT sold well for the first few years after its introduction in 2020 , but sales began to slip even before the brand added the smaller, more affordable Macan SUV to its electric lineup.
The EV underwent its midlife refresh a couple of years ago, but it seems Stuttgart wasn’t done yet; Porsche has some more tweaks for model year 2027, at least for the US market. For one thing, the 105 kWh performance battery is standard across the Taycan range now—which starts at $111,900—and can charge at up to 320 kW with an 800 V DC fast charger. And as long as you’re not ordering the stripped-out Turbo GT with the Weissach Pack , there’s a new plug for that—the CCS1 port that usually lives on the passenger side has been replaced by a NACS port. So no adapter is needed to charge at any of those thousands of Tesla superchargers, but only a small percentage of them operate at sufficient voltage to charge near the Taycan’s limit.
