Pretty impressed with the fast charge on my Taycan yesterday….

Went from 11% to 86% in 24mins, hitting at least 228kW (I wasn’t watching the whole time).

Highest would be 255+ in a Tesla Model 3 on a v3 supercharger at a deserted location, but doesn't last long.

Best overall, our current etron. 150kW charging speed from 10%-80% so took around 20 minutes. Not bad for a relatively old 400v based car, only newer 800v cars like the EV6, Taycan and etron GT can better it.

The charging curve is far more important than peak rate - although the Taycan’s pretty good at that too!

250kw at the Fort William supercharger for me. Took about half an hour to hit 90% whilst I wandered round the supermarket getting my dinner.

Half an hour to hit 90% from 20%? They must have improved the charge curve in the past 12 months as ours wouldn't get close to that on a v3 at Darts Farm last September despite starting at 250+.

The most important thing is range added. What you want is a very efficient EV with great charge curve, the EV6 being the current title holder I'd suggest.
