EV technician availability in 2024 for Porsche Taycan

[TaicanDriver24]

Hello, guys! Does anyone know the current availability of Taycan EV technicians in the U.S. (I am from Wisconsin), as of late 2024? I had an I-Pace previously and the EV technician availability was pretty limited. As far as I know, there is often only one certified tech for an entire region. This is a common "issue" for EVs across brands. Is Porche dealing with similar challenges or do they have better technician coverage?

EV technician availability can be a challenge, and it’s something that varies by brand and region. I’ve heard that their service network is growing as Taycan sales increase. That said, in more rural areas like parts of Wisconsin, it’s not uncommon for there to be just one or two certified EV technicians per region. It might be worth calling your local Porsche dealer to check their staffing and technician availability. Another tip is to ask about mobile service options, some brands are starting to offer these for minor EV repairs. Hopefully, it’s better than what you experienced with the I-Pace!

Porsche has been expanding its technician network for EVs, but availability can still vary by region. Wisconsin may have limited coverage, but it’s improving.

I totally get the concern, it was one of mine when I was considering an EV too. I’ve seen Porsche make big moves to train more Taycan techs as they roll out more EVs, but smaller regions might still feel the pinch. If you’re worried, maybe ask your dealer about their turnaround times for service. Some dealerships even fly techs in for complex repairs, which could be an option if you’re not near a major city. It’s not perfect, but it seems like Porsche is ahead of the curve compared to some other brands.
