The Porsche Taycan has set yet another world record in the U.S.A.
The all-electric car has set a Guinness World Record for the shortest charging time to cross the U.S.A, taking a total charging time of just two hours, 26 minutes, and 48 seconds to complete a total of 4,561km driving from Los Angeles, California to New York City. This new record far surpasses the previous of seven hours, 10 minutes and one second.
Behind the wheel of the record setting Porsche Taycan was Wayne Gerdes, already a multi-Guinness World Records title holder for efficiency and range in other vehicles.
To complete the Guinness World Records title attempt, Gerdes was required to meet a daunting set of requirements, including meticulously noting every stop - with independent witnesses for each charge. Every mile covered was filmed, GPS tracked and accounted for before being certified by a panel of adjudicators ahead of the record being accepted.
The car selected was a standard 2021 Taycan equipped with the Performance Battery Plus as well as nice-to-have luxury items for Gerdes' coast-to-coast adventure, such as the Premium Package, Adaptive Cruise Control and Porsche Electric Sport Sound.
"Comparing charging performance from of variety of EVs I have driven to date, the Taycan sets the bar," said Gerdes. "The first time I charged on a 350kW charger, 6% to 82% occurred in just 22 minutes."
The Porsche Taycan also recently set the indoor land speed record, alongside one for the greatest altitude change ever achieved by an electric car.
