City and highway are EPA's adjusted label figures; combined is the 55/45 blend printed on the window sticker. For electric and plug-in trims the MPG columns are MPGe, and the kWh per 100 miles is the figure a charging cost actually turns on; EPA measures it at the wall, so charging losses are already in it. Unrounded combined figures, where EPA publishes them: Taycan 4 Cross Turismo 76.4346; Taycan 4S Cross Turismo 75; Taycan 4S Perf Battery 79.4048; Taycan 4S Perf Battery Plus 77.4982; Taycan Perf Battery 79; Taycan Perf Battery Plus 74.991; Taycan Turbo 73; Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo 71.8969; Taycan Turbo S 70.0767; Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo 73.2152.
What the rating costs per mile
The rating divided by a price, times your miles. It starts at EIA's current U.S. averages and EPA's 15,000 miles so the right-hand column is comparable; type your own pump price, home rate and mileage over them.
| Trim | Runs on | Rated | Per mile | Per year | EPA's figure |

| Taycan 4S Cross Turismo | Electricity | 45 kWh/100 mi | 8.2¢ | $1,226 | $1,000 |
| Taycan 4S Perf Battery | Electricity | 42.4471 kWh/100 mi | 7.7¢ | $1,156 | $950 |
| Taycan 4S Perf Battery Plus | Electricity | 43.4913 kWh/100 mi | 7.9¢ | $1,185 | $1,000 |

Per mile = price ÷ rated MPG (gasoline) or price per kWh × kWh per 100 miles ÷ 100 (electricity). Per year = per mile × miles. EPA's figure is its own annual fuel cost at 15,000 miles, 55% city, and the national price in force when the file was built; it will differ from the middle columns whenever the price here differs. A plug-in hybrid is shown once on each fuel; its real cost sits between them, by how much of its driving is on the battery.
Fuel only — before depreciation, insurance, maintenance or tires, which the True Cost per Mile Calculator adds. Most drivers land below the rating; the True MPG Calculator measures your own from two fill-ups. The EV vs. Gas Cost Calculator sets the electric trim against a gasoline one over a year.
EPA's own figures, and why they differ
The “EPA's figure” column is EPA's annual fuel cost from the same file: 15,000 miles, 55% city, and the national fuel price fueleconomy.gov was using on the day the file was built (2026-09-29). fueleconomy.gov recomputes its page every week at the current price, so its number and the file's drift apart between file dates; the middle columns here use a price you can see and change, which is the only honest way to compare two cars. EPA also prints a five-year “you save/spend” against the average new vehicle (saves $7,250 for the Taycan 4S Perf Battery); it rests on the same assumptions and is not repeated here as a result.
Every figure on this page is a rating, not a measurement of any particular car. The site never calls a rating wrong; it shows what your own price and miles do to it. See the model on fueleconomy.gov.
