The back ends of 4 Porsche vehicles in a circular formation.

An investigation will look into 10 complaints of total loss of power while driving the 2020-2021 Porsche Taycan. The luxury EV is equipped with two batteries, an 800-volt for the heavy lifting and a 12-volt auxillary battery. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) wants to know if a loss of charge in the 12V battery can deactivate the car's entire electrical system. A sudden loss of power is a killer for any vehicle, but feels particularly bad in a car that relies solely on electricity.
