Battery and warranty
8 yrs / 160,000 km. The warranty runs from when the car was first sold, so a 2021 car has about 3 years left and a 2021 car about 3 years left. Ask for a battery health (state of health) report before you buy: how to check the battery, including independent tests from about $200. If it ever needs one: what a new battery costs.
Running costs
At 250 km a week with NSW prices, a 2021–24 (before the 2025 update) Porsche Taycan costs about $25 a week charged mostly at home, or $46 on public fast chargers. See the full Porsche Taycan page for running costs in your state, servicing and the new-car price.
