Porsche chief executive officer Oliver Blume recently told the German language Welt am Sonntag that the Taycan will enable drivers to travel 250 miles after charging the car for less than 20 minutes. That's not even a full charge, which we've heard will match that of the Tesla Model S P100D's 315-mile range per charge. The Model S P85D, to further compare, has a 253-mile range per charge, so the Taycan will have no problem meeting or likely beating several of the Model S's capabilities.

The Taycan will feature a new 800-volt electricity supply system capable of powering it for about 62 miles after only a four-minute charge, according to Blume. Impressive. In about a decade's time, a new generation of battery technology will double range to around 620 miles and reduce charging time even further.
