  • What is the key to a successful charging strategy? I think there's 3 main components to help you get the best out of this car.
    1) Battery health 🔋
    2) Your health / sanity❤️‍🩹
    3) Your wallet💰

    All Lithium Ion batteries have a maximum number of charges before unavoidable loss of capacity happens. The ball park figure is 3000 cycles BUT fast or Rapid charging reduces this. Why do you think ALL EV manufacturers state 8 years and MINIMUM capacity of 70% ? Any degradation below the 70% capacity might warrant a replacement battery BUT if the battery has been rapid / super charged regularly (like some lease cars) manufacturers will NOT replace the battery as the owner or previous owner has not followed the required charging health requirements. All EV's can record the number of charges and how the car was charged, AC 7kw or super charged / DC. Your EV i like Alexa reporting on your habits.

    what a really useful and well thought out piece. I thought I knew pretty much everything, but apparently not!

    It’s so annoying with a $100k car that you can’t just easily set a limit every time you charge (without setting up profiles). Porsche could learn a lot from Tesla’s UI and UX. Love the car, but the software and mobile app need a lot of work to make it to 2024.

    Plan Your Journey, plan your day, plan your week. Plan to charge at home, hotel, luxury B&B each night! If you plan to stay electric, have Solar Panel & battery storage. Bubble & Octopus have special EV tariffs at less than 8p/Kwh.

    25% to 85% = 50% of range =150miles max. Better to get home nearly dead & 7Kw charge(7Kw) all night.

    Recently bought a taycan turbo and drove it back from Arizona to Seattle. I never saw charging over ~170kw even at 350kw chargers. The last third of the trip was in an ice storm though. The chargers were listed as my destination, usually started charging at 8-15% soc and 85-95 Fahrenheit (30-35 C). Should I be unchecking some battery optimization safety thing or do I write it off to the chargers themselves?

    • @TABonTV
      @TABonTV  Před 4 měsíci +2

      There is a battery optimization / protection option. On the charging profile screen on the dash click the 3 dots ... In the corner and ensure that option isn't checked. Many chargers do share the load with other plant though...

      @@TABonTV ah, thank you. I think I noticed that once and didn’t mess with that to be careful. I’m guessing should be fine on rare occasion.
      Still the 170 kw was plenty quick for AZ to Seattle. My only hiccups were chargers were full just once in Napa Valley, a 16 hour interstate closure rerouted me to the Oregon coast, and there an entire town lost power in the ice storm so I found a slow charger the next town over. The Taycan was fantastic all 1500 miles through desert, California hills, and icy mountain passes. Great proof of concept for me.

    great content by the way. watching this just makes me think that the ev tech is still too bleeding edge. you made the point well, an ICE won’t need a new engine in its lifeline, an EV will at a cost that bankrupt any normal person. I’m sticking with my cayman dinosaur for now

      Thanks, yeah, early adopters for sure on a bit of a rollercoaster right now. I'm glad I still have some ICE in the stable too! New battery tech (solid state) cannot come soon enough...

      @oldbasted Před 4 měsíci

      Understandable but the Taycan is a great car. I charge mine gently at 7kwh to 85% nearly the whole time and only rarely away from home. 3000 charges at say a low 130 miles per charge is around 400,000 miles or 25 years motoring for me.
