That&#8217;s especially true in the case of the more potent 4S, available from $103,800 in the United States. Factor in the optional Performance Battery Plus and the price jumps by $5,570. Thankfully, a discount is coming.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cars Direct<\/em> managed to get a hold of a letter sent by Porsche to dealers, informing them the bigger battery is now eligible for a $1,010 price cut. As a refresher, the bigger pack increases capacity from the standard 79.2 kWh to 93.4 kWh and consequently bumps range from 227 to 272 miles (365 to 438 kilometers), according to EPA. It&#8217;s certainly an upgrade worth having since the extra range is quite significant.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1019\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ford-Explorer-hybrid66.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ford-Explorer-hybrid66.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ford-Explorer-hybrid66-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The downside is the discount for the Performance Battery Plus is only applicable to the Taycan 4S. According to <em>Cars Direct<\/em>, the price cut has to do with Porsche&#8217;s launch of the entry-level Taycan, with a company spokesperson saying that &#8220;this was a planned price reduction to coincide with the launch of the standard model Taycan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth mentioning the discount came into effect on January 21, but it&#8217;s only now Porsche is making the announcement. The Zuffenhausen brand has been reimbursing dealers for the Taycan 4S vehicles with the Performance Battery Plus since March 2 while the purchases made before this date are excluded.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1002\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ford-Explorer-hybrid49.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ford-Explorer-hybrid49.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ford-Explorer-hybrid49-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sure, a $1,010 discount is a drop in the ocean given the Taycan&#8217;s steep asking price. However, Porsche&#8217;s electric sedan is increasingly more appealing while it battles the Model S as Tesla keeps increasing prices. The addition of a RWD model further bolsters the vehicle&#8217;s appeal, while a <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/02\/12\/cheaper-awd-porsche-taycan-considered\/\">Taycan 4<\/a> could be coming as dealers are asking the Zuffenhausen brand for a cheaper AWD-equipped model.<\/p>\n<p>On a related note, the aforementioned Taycan base version was rated by EPA this week at 200 miles (322 kilometers) of range with the standard 79.2-kWh battery and at 225 miles (362 kilometers) with the larger 93.4-kWh pack. As for the WLTP numbers applicable for the European model, the single-motor Taycan does 268 miles (431 kilometers) on a single charge with the smaller battery and 301 miles (484 kilometers) with the Performance Battery Plus upgrade.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsdirect.com\/deals-articles\/porsche-taycan-gets-over-1-000-battery-price-cut\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cars Direct<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a car carries a hefty starting price of $79,900 like in the case of the base rear-wheel-drive Porsche Taycan, it could certainly use all the discounts it can get.
