Known issues

High
Five NHTSA recalls cover a possible short circuit within the Taycan's high-voltage battery modules, a fire risk. 23V-840 (December 2023), 24V-215 and 24V-217 (March 2024) were followed in October 2024 by 24V-731, which replaces modules on 193 cars from 2020-2023, and 24V-732, which covers about 27,500 more Taycans and installs diagnostic software that watches the battery. Where an affected car is flagged, Porsche tells the owner to charge to no more than 80% until the battery is repaired, free of charge.
High
The Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT have the same defect. NHTSA 24V-228 and 24V-229 (March 2024, 2022-2024 models) limit charging to 80% until dealers replace battery modules, and 24V-726 (September 2024, about 6,500 cars) installs diagnostic software as the final remedy, free of charge.
Medium
NHTSA 23V-615 (Taycan) and 23V-613 (e-tron GT), both September 2023, cover 2023 cars whose high-voltage battery may have too little sealant, which can let liquid collect in the battery. Dealers test the battery for leaks and replace it as necessary, free of charge.
Low
Porsche rates this pack at up to 270 kW and 5 to 80 percent in 22.5 minutes. The smaller 79.2 kWh Performance Battery, standard on the base Taycan and 4S, peaks at 225 kW.
Low
Porsche's warranty guarantees 70% of net battery capacity for 8 years or 100,000 miles, and 80% for the first 3 years or 37,500 miles.

How this pack ages (industry context)

Industry fleet aggregates: 2.3% average annual capacity loss across 22,700 EVs / 21 models (Geotab, 2026), and 95% range retention at 5 years on average across 30,000+ vehicles (Recurrent, 2026).

OEM warranty floor on this pack: 8 yr / 100k mi to 70% capacity.

Public per-pack degradation curves are not available for most models. Individual results vary materially with climate, charging behavior, and DC fast-charge frequency.
