Two hours for 2000 miles is most impressive, says matty_prior
That’s not good enough for Guinness World Record holder Wayne Gerdes, who is a dab hand at EV endurance testing. Over six days in late 2021, he set a new record by driving a Taycan coast to coast while spending just two hours, 26 minutes and 48 seconds charging it.Gerdes is an expert in hypermiling and talks about it on his enthusiastic website, cleanmpg.com. Hypermiling, if you don’t know, is the craft of squeezing as much economy out of a vehicle as possible.
But that was just part of his success; it was mainly thanks to charging. “From a low standard charge with a decent battery temperature, the Taycan just walks over everything,” he said. He used charging company Electrify America’s 350kW chargers and made sure the Taycan was ready to accept its highest input levels. That requires a near-empty and warm battery.
In that state, the Taycan can take up to 260kW and often did. At anything above 50% charge, the rate dramatically drops, so he would fill just enough to reach the next stop in a ready state.
