People have been raving about the Porsche Taycan ever since it debuted. Car journos and vloggers launched controlled it, drifted it, and drove it on the track, screaming in pleasure from behind the wheel.

Being a Porsche, the Taycan must deliver heavily on the performance front, which it does, regardless of trim and powertrain configuration. But what’s it like to live on a daily basis with Porsche’s first-ever EV? After all, excellent daily-driver traits are quintessential for Porsche, so how does the Taycan fare in this department?

Mind you, not all Taycan customers are going for the absolute brutes that are the Turbo and the Turbo S. Harry Metcalfe of Harry’s Garage, for example, says he’d go for the 4S, which starts at around £83,000 in the U.K. or roughly $110,000.

That’s considerably cheaper than a Turbo or a Turbo S but it’s not slouch either, not even when fitted with the 79.2-kWh battery pack which gets you 522 horsepower (fitting in the 93.4-kWh battery unlocks 563 horses). 0-60 mph takes just 3.8 seconds in the Taycan 4S, but what’s it like when driven like any other car out there?

We know from our past experience with the Taycan that it’s not the most easy to steer car around crowded urban areas. In fact, you’re looking at a rather long vehicle that’s also pretty wide and low and except for what you’re fed by the parking sensors and cameras, there’s little visibility around.

Daily usability in a Taycan (as with every EV in general) relies heavily on the charging network. You might not always be able to find a free charging spot and when you do find one, it might be not working or it might not charge at full capacity.

Even without these issues, you still have to take into consideration the actual time spent at the charging station and what range you’ll get until the next charge.
