Porsche’s Taycan EV hits more than 20,000 Deposits
Recently, Porsche introduced their new electric vehicle Taycan which is a complete Tesla rival. Though the vehicle is still not out in the market with full design, the bookings are hitting the peak. A whopping 20,000 deposits which indirectly means reservations happened even before the complete design launch.
Words from Porsche’s Chief
“This is a significantly higher figure than we expected: we usually only see ordering peaks after the first driving reports are available, when the vehicle is presented, and when customers have been able to sit in the car in real life.”
The reservation cost comes around $2500 which is approximately 80% cost of an expensive iPhone. Customers have made their choice which led Porsche to double their product from 20,000 to 40,000. Taycan is equipped with a 300kW 850-volt system that can charge it up to 80% in just 15 minutes time. Charging time is one of the most highlighted concerns around the town, which is being slowly solved by electric vehicle companies every day.
Hopefully, we will see more silent Porsche’s on road (most probably with a speaker at the back).
