Porsche Taycan: distance record of an electrician in 24 hours

The Porsche Taycan has pulverized the record of distance traveled in 24 hours by an electric car by completing 3,425 kilometers at an average of 142.7 kilometers / hour.

Porsche Taycan has made history even before debuting. It has become the electric car that more distance has been able to travel in 24 hours. This is an unofficial record, although not less spectacular.

The electric has been able to travel 3,425 kilometers, representing an average of 142.7 km / h. With this brand, Porsche pulverizes Tesla's previous record, set at 2,781 kilometers by a Model S. That is, the Porsche Taycan He was able to travel almost 650 km more

The scenario chosen for this challenge was the test track of Nardo, in southern Italy, which currently manages Porsche, but it is used by many brands. This has a very high speed ring where numerous speed and distance records have been broken.

Those responsible for the brand have cited that the car maintained a speed between 195 and 215 kilometers / hour while rolling, and that the average fell due to the time in which the Porsche Taycan He stood to recharge the batteries. A record that could still have been better if the temperatures of the day of the attempt had not been as high as they were, which forced to spend extra energy for cooling.

One of the reasons given by the technical head of the Taycan program, Stefan Weckbach, as keys to achieve this record has been the use of the 800-volt technology chosen for the motor and batteries, which improves efficiency and reduces the time of recharge, as well as the wiring space. This technology was tested in the Porsche 919 Hybrid winners of 24 Hours of Le Mans and that have the Nürburgring absolute record. Of course, the recharges were made with a hypercharger developed by Porsche that works at 800 volts as well, so they were very short.

The vehicle used for the record was one of the Taycan of preserie, without specific preparation, separate security elements. Recall also that the first electric built in series of Porsche has the batteries on the floor and one of its curious features is that there is a 'hole' in it so that passengers in the rear seats have room for the feet.
