EV Curious Tech Session

March 23 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Free

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, electric vehicles roam the streets, and they’re prominently on display at local Porsche centers. 

Join this two-hour EV Curious Tech Session so you can speak more confidently about this fast-evolving technology. You might be very familiar with air cooling vs water cooling and naturally aspirated vs turbocharged engines. Are you as familiar with permanent magnet vs induction motors and charging inlets like J1772, CCS, and NACS?

Facilitated by David Zygmont and supported by other Porsche and EV enthusiasts, we’ll dive into the terminology and technology of electric motors, high-voltage batteries, and efficient design. We’ll discuss day to day life with an EV including recharging, unique features, and how Porsche differentiates itself from the pack with the Taycan and Macan Electric.

EVs are available from the simplest daily drivers to light trucks, or even high-performance sedans like the Taycan Turbo GT, which happens to be the most powerful Porsche available today*. At the end of this session, you’ll understand more about a family member’s or friend’s EV and make more informed decisions for your own garage. 

There is also an optional before-session experience to ride and familiarize with an EV.
