Degradation of the battery

[actuario]

Hello friends
I live in Spain . I ordered a macan Ev in October . I expect to pick it up on march 2026. My configuration is PT78JGX3. I am basically worry about the degradation of the battery and the range of the base one .
thanks in advance .

degradation: none. there is a test of a 337.000 km taycan on youtube



and of course there is the warranty.

consumption: the porsche motto is: drive fast, charge fast.
trust the charging planer and you will reach your destination as fast as possible. switch on battery preservation in your set up. charge 7% to max. 80% at home. charging at a trip the planner will plan for you.

my consumption: i drive my turbo the same way as my. ice turbo before. 10% - 80% is 270-300km in normal weather and 10% — 15% less in cold weather. charging from 10% to 80% is 20 minutes.

Valid concern. Degradation is normal. This is directly from Porsche.

everything degrades. except the electric motors …. an ice motor loses more than 30% of its power and torque after 100.000 miles. if it makes it there at all

Well you cannot say none - there is some initial degradation in the first year or two up to ~10% and then it should hold really well for a long time.

There is an interesting thread on Taycan forum:
https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/-baseline-for-hv-battery-soh-performance-battery-degradation-data-by-taycan-owners.12815/

There are many takeaways like 1) DC fast charging does not have an impact people are worried about 2) there is a buffer that minimizes range drop, Porsche adds some extra capacity so that net amount you get does not drop too much.

That being said realistically you can expect ~10% drop which is not nothing but it also depends on your use case. You won't notice it in city driving, you will notice it during fast highway trips in winter.

I think manufacturers should be forced by law to give you an easy option to check the SoH. The procedure Porsche does at their shop could easily be incorporated into PCM - you turn it on, it discharges the battery, tells you the charge it to 100%, hold overnight and here you go, 95% SoH. Something like "clean the brakes" option on Taycans. Could easily be done.

I think I read somewhere that the new MY2026 shows the SoH. I thought it's even required by European Regulation going forward (but could be wrong)

interesting post: 1008 km driven, 63 min. charged:

Hi no worry Tesla – use CATL, one of them for cars produced in China. I have drive 110 000 km nothing you can feel.
