Porsche Updates Taycan for 2027 With E‑Shift, Larger Battery and Native NACS Port

The package modernizes charging and software while adding simulated multi‑gear engagement to give drivers familiar sound and shift feel without changing the car’s electric drivetrain.

Overview

  • Porsche announced Wednesday that the 2027 Taycan will make the 105 kWh Performance Battery Plus standard across the lineup to increase usable range and charging capability.
  • The updated Taycan adds a native NACS DC fast‑charging inlet on the front passenger fender, keeps a J1772 AC inlet on the driver side, and ships with a CCS adapter to maximize charger access.
  • E‑Shift is introduced as an option on most Taycan models and standard on the Turbo GT; it uses paddle shifters, eight simulated gears, noticeable shift jerks, gear‑specific drag torque and a virtual rev limiter to create ICE‑like feedback.
  • Porsche upgraded the Porsche Communication Management system with faster hardware, AI voice assistance, a smarter charging planner, over‑the‑air updates and a quicker magnetic phone charger plus a battery health display.
  • Pricing rises for MY2027 with orders open now, the Turbo GT can be fitted with a Manthey Kit for track‑focused aero and chassis upgrades, and some trims force E‑Shift into bundled paid options that raise the real add‑on cost for buyers.
