    3 Years Of Free Charging With Your Porsche Taycan Purchase In The US

    If you live in the United States of America and are awaiting (or thinking about buying) the new all-electric Porsche Taycan, then we have good news! When you buy your Taycan, Porsche will offer 3 years’ worth of free charging for your vehicle across the entire country, even though you’ll actually be paying for it in the cost price. But we’ll gloss over that little detail.

    Porsche has partnered up with Electrify America to offer unlimited 30-minute charging for your Taycan. This vast network of electric charging stations will consist 300 highway stations in 42 of the 50 states. The average distance between these stations will be 113 km with each of them having five charging points, and some having ten. These will see at least two 350 kW chargers.  Over and above that, more than 180 charging sites will be opening in 17 metro areas with charging speeds of 150 kW.  

    If you’re sitting there still worried that there won’t be enough charging points for your new Taycan, then do not worry. All 191 of Porsche’s American dealerships will also offer DC fast charging. 120 of those dealers will have Porsche Turbo Charging, which is Porsche’s own DC system which offers a maximum 320 kW of charging. You will also be offered home charging to conveniently charge your Taycan at house. All in all, Porsche will be investing more or less $70 million (approx. R950 million) in the electrification for the Taycan, and no doubt future electric Porsche models as well.

    The Taycan will have a 800 volt charger which will mean it will be able to cruise around for 400 km with less than 20 minutes’ worth of charging. Plug the car in for 4 minutes, and another 100k m will be added to your electric range.

    “Every Porsche is a sports car with soul, and the Taycan is soul electrified. Together, Electrify America and our Porsche dealer network will provide a national infrastructure for DC fast charging that frees future Taycan owners from range anxiety”, said Porsche’s CEO in North America, Klaus Zellmer. “And Porsche home charging technology will turn the customer’s garage into the equivalent of a personal gas station.”

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
