In the age of climate change and the set goals to minimize carbon footprint, the notion of EVs has been nothing short of astronomical.

Teslas driving range is definitely much lower than Porsche Taycan but dealing with a Porsche Taycan is in a completely different realm of experience, especially on handling.
