Charging Speed
The Porsche Taycan has the higher published DC charging figure at 322 kW, which is roughly 124% higher than the MG Cyberster at 144 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the published fast-charge window, the Porsche Taycan is listed at about 16 minutes, which is 14 minutes quicker than the MG Cyberster at 30 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Porsche Taycan has a WLTP rated range of approximately 678 km, which is roughly 171 km more than the MG Cyberster at approximately 507 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Porsche Taycan consumes 169 Wh/km, compared to 175 Wh/km for the MG Cyberster. That means the Porsche Taycan uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Porsche Taycan has approximately 97 kWh of useable battery , while the MG Cyberster has approximately 74.4 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging is your priority, the Porsche Taycan has the higher published DC figure (up to 322 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 16 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Porsche Taycan is the more efficient choice at 169 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Porsche Taycan has a WLTP rated range of approximately 678 km, which is roughly 171 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
