Taycan battery degradation and used range
EV batteries lose capacity slowly. At the average rate measured across 22,700 EVs (2.3% a year), a 2020 Taycan rated for 327 km would have roughly 284 km of range today.
Taycan used range by model year
| Model year | Rated when new | Age (years) | At 1.5%/yr | At 2.3%/yr | At 3.0%/yr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 327 km | 6 | 299 km | 284 km | 272 km |
| 2021 | 365 km | 5 | 338 km | 325 km | 313 km |
| 2022 | 396 km | 4 | 373 km | 361 km | 351 km |
| 2023 | 396 km | 3 | 378 km | 369 km | 361 km |
| 2024 | 396 km | 2 | 384 km | 378 km | 373 km |
| 2025 | 475 km | 1 | 468 km | 464 km | 461 km |
The three columns reflect how the car was charged. Telematics firm Geotab found about 1.5% a year for EVs that rarely use DC fast chargers, 2.3% on average, and around 3% for EVs that fast-charge heavily at high power. Rated range is the longest version for each model year.
Checking a used Taycan
Ask the seller for a battery health or state-of-health report from a dealer or a battery-testing service, and check whether the original battery warranty still applies. A full charge that shows a much lower range estimate than this table, in mild weather, is worth questioning.
