I have not as of yet. I charge at home each night and at my office (first time today) during the day. I am commuting 134 miles per day and have still been fine driving in and then driving home, about 70 miles of range left. I started charging car to 85% last night and the range indicated was 187 miles. Looked like I could have gotten about 194 miles on 85% charge. I saw an indicated 221 mile range on 100% charge earlier this week.Curious to hear from current Taycan owners if they have hit up any Electrify Charger and started to use their free 3yrs 30min charging session and how all that is working out. Thanks
I drove from Omaha, Nebraska to my home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Used the EA chargers over my 1900 mile trip. Configured the car to go to 100% battery charge.
1. The charging stations mostly do work
2. Never had to wait, there were always booths or stations available.
3. All located in Walmart parking lots. I am now very familiar withe layout of Walmart, very consistent, and the food section was decent quality.
4. I only used the 350KW ports and achieved 250KW twice as the max speed.
5. The max charging speed of 250KW does not last long, it quickly goes down to 150KW and as you go past 85% it drops off dramatically.
6. My average charge time was about 45 mins due to lower speed rates (Usually it would start at 150KW and drop off from there quite quickly)
7. Overall, it was a decent experience, we were in no rush, really enjoyed getting to know the car (There is a LOT to learn)
You can achieve 200+ KWHr if you start at a very low SOC, make sure battery is preconditioned by setting charger as destination to allow car to bring battery up to temperature. But that is one of my frustration, EA chargers don't deliver what they say, and for me charging at lower rates defeats one of the main strengths of the Taycan.I drove from Omaha, Nebraska to my home in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Sorry, being slow, SOC, is that State Of Charge? So even though the charging stations are in the route planner, will the car will precondition even though the charging station is not the final destination?

good questionHow long did it take to get to an 85% charge?
Also, welcome to the forum!
Curious to hear from current Taycan owners if they have hit up any Electrify Charger and started to use their free 3yrs 30min charging session and how all that is working out. Thanks
I have and it seems to work...ive monitored to make sure I don't go over that since I can also charge at home. Our EA chargers are in the BofA parking lot! They seem to have a deal with the bank as there are others in the Bay Area also at the BofA as well as in Sonoma.Curious to hear from current Taycan owners if they have hit up any Electrify Charger and started to use their free 3yrs 30min charging session and how all that is working out.

I have done this numerous times on the road and it works as advertised .i have a 21 4SCurious to hear from current Taycan owners if they have hit up any Electrify Charger and started to use their free 3yrs 30min charging session and how all that is working out. Thanks
