2025 Porsche Taycan range increased to new heights with bigger batteries and improved efficiency

Porsche has managed to increase the range of the 2025 Porsche Taycan by a considerable margin vs the 2024 model. The 2025 Taycan now enjoys up to 32% more range than it’s predecessor. This improvement in the range is reportedly a result of better efficiency and a larger battery.

According to Porsche, the 2025 Taycan now has an EPA range of 252 to 318 miles (405.5 to 512 km) depending on the battery. This is a huge increase over the outgoing model as the 2024 Porsche Taycan topped out at only 246 miles (396 km). While a part of this range boost is credited to the larger battery capacity, Porsche seems to also have made efficiency gains. 

Taking a look at different 2025 Taycan SKUs, the base Porsche Taycan has a 89 kWh battery and an estimated EPA range of 274 miles (441 km). While the battery capacity has noted a 12.4% bump, the base 2025 Taycan range has gone up by 32%, implying efficiency gains. The efficiency boost could be the result of improvements such as a heat pump that is reportedly used at all times to maintain the interior temperature, enhanced regenerative braking, and improved aerodynamics.

The longest range in the latest Taycan lineup is enjoyed by the 2025 Porsche Taycan RWD with the larger Performance Battery Plus cell with a gross capacity of 105 kWh, a 12.4% increase over last year’s larger battery pack. Coupled with the efficiency gains, the Performance Battery Plus reportedly allows the 2025 Taycan to go 318 miles (EPA) on a single charge, making it the first Taycan to cross the 300-mile barrier.

Aside from the base models, other SKUs like the 2025 Porsche Taycan 4S, Turbo S, and Turbo S Cross Turismo, to name a few, have also gotten a range boost between 14 and 26%.

2025 Porsche Taycan charging time
