Hey all,
I’m waiting around for the baseball game to start, so I thought I’d share some thoughts on our new addition, our first EV, we no longer own an internal combustion vehicle. Some thoughts, then a few snapshots…I hope you all appreciate the color choice, it’s technically Cherry Metallic, but it matches our FSU tag flawlessly.
Vehicle-2022 Porsche Taycan RWD (base model for Taycans)
Color-Cherry Metallic
Interior-Chalk/Black Leather
Range-@ 250 Miles on a full charge using brake recuperation
First impressions-
This is our third Porsche, but our first new one, so we were able to build from spec….first time we’ve ever done that. The vehicle is 100% electric, and it definitely took some time to adapt to the silence, I mean it is really quiet. The interior is ultramodern, and we opted for the glass roof to open the back seat up a little more. The vehicle is only a base model, but it’s incredible fast (0-60 in < 5 seconds, particularly for the curb weight it carries. We don’t have the ability to charge at our condo, but we get three years of free fast charging at Electrify America stations around the country and that has been seamless…I can go from @ 20% state of charge to 90% state of charge in @ 20-25 minutes on a 150 KW or 350KW Fast Charger. The technology on this vehicle is truly amazing, something that can move like that, along with all the typical luxury vehicle feel it offers using simply battery power, is something I didn’t think I would ever see let alone own. If anyone has any questions about the EV process, pros and cons, etc. I’d be happy to help. In closing, it sure is satisfying driving by our local Mobil station…I know I’m paying for the price of fuel like the rest of us in other products and services, but it really is nice not dropping $80-$100 on a fill up….and the $7500 Income Tax Credit for 2022 was also a huge incentive. I tried dropping a couple pics in but I’m getting the dreaded Red X…..ugh.
