Porsche Cars North America Announces Three Years of Electrify America Charging for Taycan Owners

Taycan buyers will receive three years of unlimited 30-minute charging at Electrify America locations, comprised of more than 300 highway stations in 42 states as well as more than 180 sites in 17 metro areas.

Each location will have an average of five charging dispensers, with some having as many as 10.

The Electrify America highway stations will have a minimum of two 350 kW chargers per site, with additional chargers delivering up to 150kW. The highway stations will be spaced along multiple routes and no more than 120 miles from each other. Nationally, the distance between highway stations will average 70 miles. Charging dispensers at metro locations will be able to charge at speeds up to 150 kW.

The first phase of Electrify America’s nationwide ultra-fast charging network will feature 484 locations with more than 2,000 charging dispensers installed or under construction by July 1, ahead of the Taycan’s arrival in late 2019. The company’s second phase of charger installations is expected to deploy hundreds of additional charging sites beginning July 2019.

To further expand power options, all 191 U.S. #porsche dealerships will install DC fast charging. More than 120 of these dealerships will feature Porsche Turbo Charging, which is the automaker’s own DC system that delivers up to 320 kW and also uses the CCS plug. The remaining dealerships will install 50 kW fast chargers.

Together, the total investment by #porsche dealers in charging infrastructure will be about $70 million.
The first #porsche Turbo Chargers are already installed at the #porsche Experience Center (PEC) in Atlanta and more are planned for the PEC Los Angeles.
Most cars spend 95 percent of their time parked at home or at work, so new charging options for the #taycan will include a Porsche-designed home system. Details of the system and installation options will follow soon.
