Taycan Cross Turismo
Prefer it to the standard Taycan. I wonder how much of the futuristic interior will make it to the production model? All of it I hope. It will be well beyond my budget but maybe I can pick up a pre-owned one in 2023GMAN75 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 11:47 am Looks like this one is a go for 2020! I kind of like it really!

I read yesterday that many councils, will not be installing charge points, at least in the near future, because of their funding crisis. I think this will be detrimental to the take up of EV's I'm sure.
I doubt those seats will make it!Panthera wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 12:06 pmPrefer it to the standard Taycan. I wonder how much of the futuristic interior will make it to the production model?

Do councils install petrol stations? I would have thought it was up to the private sector to install more charge points. Isn’t Porsche supposed to be providing high speed chargers across all of its dealerships? So you can pop in for a free coffee and charge up while out and about in your Taycan. I thought that was the plan a year or two ago. But not sure how it’s going.TheTraveller wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 12:09 pm I read yesterday that many councils, will not be installing charge points, at least in the near future, because of their funding crisis.

I think that councils will not be doing a lot of anything now, because of this Pandemic. But you don't need a separate petrol station for each car to charge up at night. At this present time, you can't splash and dash, as you can when filling up with petrol/diesel.Peteski wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 4:24 pmDo councils install petrol stations?

You need a few things to run an EV for everything without compromise:-
1. Home charging
2. At least 200 mile real world range
3. A reliable national network of high speed roadside chargers, min 100kW

I would add the national network needs to reach places away for our main national motorway /duel carriageway road network. Based on my usual annual travel I would need a fast charger in Mid Wales and North Norfolk. I have been watching the Tesla Network and the sometime promised fast chargers in Aberystwyth now shown as due 3rd quarter 2021. even for tesla it is only just happening. Realistically they need to be available no more than 30 to 50 miles from any mainland location

Something has to be done for people who live in densely populated areas, where there is no offroad parking. Or people who live in high rise flats. I can see the little drug/alcohol fuelled urchins, coming home from the night out (when possible), and think it's a good game to play/prank with all the chargers and cables attached to the cars. I think a lot of planning needs to be done, in a realistic world.
