This week, Porsche registered a record in the world-famous ‘Guinness World Records’ book, after driver Wayne Gerdes – known for holding numerous respected efficiency driving records – used a Porsche Taycan to cross the United States coast to coast. Starting from New York and heading to Los Angeles, Wayne used the least amount of charging time possible for the electric car. The driver managed to cover an incredible 4,561 km with just 2 hours, 26 minutes, and 48 seconds of charging. Before this incredible feat by Wayne, the record registered in Guinness had been established at 7 hours, 10 minutes, and 1 second.
