Porsche has continued its record-breaking run with the Taycan by driving from Los Angeles to New York and charging in the shortest time ever.

During the 2,834-mile journey the Porsche stopped for just two hours, 26 minutes and 48 seconds, making use of Electrify America’s fastest 350kW chargers, which deliver a 0-80 per cent charge in less than 25 minutes.

Porsche now replaces Kia in the Guinness Book of World Records for this feat, having beaten the Korean company’s EV6 by over four hours.

This rate of rapid charging is a real game changer and should encourage even more electric adventurers to road trip across the USA. Will you be one of them?
