Porsche Launches 2027 Taycan with 8-Gear E-Shift, NACS Charging

6/18/2026

Summary

Porsche Unveils 2027

Porsche AG unveiled the 2027 Taycan with an eight-gear virtual “E-Shift” system and a native NACS DC fast-charging port.
The E-Shift gearbox is standard on the Turbo GT, optional elsewhere, and omitted on the Turbo GT Weissach package.
All 2027 Taycan models receive a 105 kWh Performance Battery Plus that charges up to 320 kW, priced at $114,250 plus $2,350 destination fee for fall deliveries.

Summary

Porsche Adds Adapter

Porsche will ship a CCS1 adapter so Taycan owners can use Electrify America and other 800 V fast-charging networks.
Only a small percentage of Tesla Supercharger stations can supply enough voltage to approach the Taycan’s 320 kW charging limit.
IONNA’s native North American Charging Standard (NACS) chargers can deliver 400 kW, surpassing the Taycan’s 320 kW maximum.
The new NACS plug eliminates adapters at Tesla stations while possibly requiring them for non-Tesla chargers.
