South African motorists’ choice of fully electric vehicles continues to grow and become more affordable with this, the new bottom-of-the-range Porsche Taycan RWD. However, unfortunately, “affordable” here is a very relative term. At just over R2.2million, the new Taycan is nearly half the price of the top-of-the-range Taycan Turbo S, and so it does represent a significantly more “affordable” way of parking an electric Porsche on your driveway.

But why is it so much cheaper? Our video guy, Ciro De Siena was on leave and so we sent our in-house race-ace, Ashley Oldfield, to find out.
