For Sale: Porsche Taycan Batteries That Allegedly Fell Off A Train

A train derailment reportedly caused a bunch of Porsche Taycans to be scrapped. Their batteries are for sale, and cheaper than you'd think.

If you've ever wanted a Porsche Taycan battery, I have great news: An alleged train derailment has made your dream come true sooner than expected. According to a listing on car parts and DIY site Jag35 , a train carrying some Porsche Taycans derailed, damaging the Porsche EVs beyond repair. Parts companies were able to salvage various parts, including the battery modules that make up the Taycan's powerful 800-volt class battery.

The Taycan is built on an 800-volt architecture, allowing the battery to charge and discharge rapidly. A new Taycan charged from 8 to 80% in just 16 minutes in InsideEVs testing, the fastest charge we've ever recorded. The Taycan Turbo GT also makes 1,092 hp, so these batteries can put out plenty of juice. Of course, getting an entire Taycan drivetrain for any swaps you have in mind would be better.
