Why Porsche Taycan doesn't offer one-pedal driving
. In fact, the car only needs 100 percent hydraulic braking at speeds under 5 km/h when electric motors can’t provide enough stopping force.
The car relies on algorithms to take data from the braking system and determine how and where to apply traditional brakes when the driver asks for additional braking force. Though it follows the conventional automotive configuration of two-thirds braking force on the front axle and one-third on the rear, Porsche said the Taycan’s rear electric motor could provide more force and energy recuperation as needed.
With so much braking force coming from its electric motors, Porsche said Taycan owners would likely replace brake pads more often due to aging than wear. The car is so frugal in its hydraulic brake applications that Porsche developed a system to keep the components clean, in which the car brakes using its traditional system occasionally to remove dirt from the discs and pads.
