Porsche Taycan gains software update to improve efficiency and tech
Following the update, Taycan owners will also be able to active keyless opening as a 'feature on demand' as and when it's required, though Porsche has yet to give a price.
The headline software upgrades centre on improving the Taycan's efficiency and reducing charge times. Post-upgrade, the Normal and Range driving modes in four-wheel-drive versions will"almost completely" disconnect the front motor under partial load, reducing strain on the battery. Plus, the selected level of regenerative braking will be retained even when switching driving modes, and improved thermal management of the battery –"especially at low outside temperatures" – allows the Taycan to be rapidly charged more often.
As well as these software upgrades, Porsche is now offering to retrofit customer cars with an upgraded 22kW on-board charging device for faster top-up times. For European and US customers, this comes with a new 'Plug & Charge' function - which essentially does away with the need for a payment card or app when charging at compatible devices, allowing the car to communicate through the cable with the charging provider.
