Financing Your New Porsche Taycan

For Porsche purists it may be all about the classic sports car but for realists, it's all about the latest model. Great news for Porsche enthusiasts with the new all-electric Taycan available in Australia from February 2021. While buyers have been enjoying the new Porsche Panamera and the e-hybrid Cayenne since earlier in the year and the new 911 since late 2020, the availability of the Taycan EV is a significant moment for the luxury motor vehicle market. With Tesla dominating the luxury EV market for some time, the entry of another premium auto-maker into the sector is a major event.

With the release of the Taycan EV, we address what we see as possibly two key issues that will influence buying decisions – charging options and finance options.

Porsche Taycan Models

First, a quick overview of the models available. The Taycan premiered to the world in 2019 but is now available to order in Australia. The models available are the 4S, Turbo and Turbo S. A four door sports sedan with a very special package and signature Porsche performance. But electrified.

Compared with the rest of the world, Australia has been slow in the take-up of EVs. One of the reasons for that may be access to convenient charging or just not fully understanding how that aspect works.

Porsche has covered off on charging with the release of the Taycan.

Taycan Charging Options

In the news release around the release of the Taycan, Porsche outlines the charging options available for Australian owners. It’s noted that the vehicle has a 800 volts system compared with 400 on most electric cars. Porsche states that while enabling high performance, this also reduces charging time.

The company says that the Australian Taycan models will come with the standard inclusion of a Mobile Charger Connect in addition to a Charging Cable that suits public charging stations. For those that charge at the 400V stations, a 150 kW DC charger is included as standard on the Australian models.

To facilitate ease of charging, Porsche is partnering with Chargefox and providing buyers with 3 years complimentary subscription to their network and at selected sites. If buyers would like home charging, Porsche arranges a service to provide expert advice on solutions.

Another option is Porsche Destination Charging. This is a network being installed through both regional and metro sites for charging Taycans and plug-in hybrid Porsche models.

Australian models have additional standard equipment to meet local specifications with the Porsche Charging Dock, cable for domestic sockets, cables for industrial sockets mobile charger connect model and the home energy manager for home set-up assistance.

Hopefully, all those options will satisfy buyer doubts and encourage you to consider a Porsche Taycan.
