Lot 12739: 2021 Porsche Taycan

The 2021 Porsche Taycan Base with the Performance Battery Plus (which this car has) delivers excellent real-world range—remarkably, it typically beats its EPA estimate, which is unusual for EVs.

Here’s what to expect:

EPA vs. Real-World Range

• EPA Rating: Up to 225 miles (with Performance Battery Plus)
• Real-world highway (75 mph): ~250–280 miles—in independent testing by InsideEVs and Car & Driver, the Taycan Base consistently exceeded its EPA rating by 50+ miles
• Mixed driving (city/ highway): 240–270 miles in normal conditions

Battery & Mileage Impact This car has the larger 93.4 kWh battery (Performance Battery Plus is an ~$5,800 option when new). At 50,259 miles, minimal degradation is expected—Porsche’s battery management is conservative, and most Taycans see only 2–5% capacity loss by this stage.

Climate Considerations (Kent, WA) Since this vehicle is in the Pacific Northwest:

• Summer/Spring: Expect the upper end of that 250–280 mile range
• Winter: Range can drop 15–25% in cold, wet conditions (shorter trips with heating use). You might see 180–220 miles in December–February, though the Taycan handles cold weather better than many EVs.

The Bottom Line Unlike most EVs where EPA is optimistic, the Taycan’s rating is conservative. In everyday use, you’ll likely see 230–260 miles in mild weather—better than the window sticker suggests. Would you like me to find similar Taycans with lower mileage, or compare it to other EVs in our listings?
