Porsche Taycan extended warranty coverage
Porsche extended warranties are called Vehicle Service Protection (VSP) plans. They normally have two tiers of coverage, one for bumper-to-bumper protection and one for powertrain coverage. However, EVs have their own plan, called Electric Vehicle Service Protection (EVSP) plans. EVSP plans only offer one comprehensive coverage plan called Platinum Protection.
Factory warranty coverage
For context, when you buy a new Porsche Taycan, you’ll get the following factory coverage.
- New car limited warranty: Provides comprehensive protection for your Taycan for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first
- Battery warranty: Protects your Taycan’s high-voltage, lithium-ion battery for up to seven years or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first
- Battery capacity warranty: Guarantees that your battery capacity won’t dip below 80% within three years or 37,500 miles, whichever comes first, or below 70% within eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first
- Corrosion perforation warranty: Guarantees that components will not rust from the inside out to the point of perforation; coverage lasts for 12 years with no mileage limitations
Extended warranty coverage
When you purchase a Platinum Plan from Porsche, it adds up to six years or 50,000 miles to your Porsche factory warranty, effectively offering total warranty coverage for up to 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Porsche’s Platinum Plan covers the following:
- Powertrain components: Covers your electrical drivetrain components, including the battery and inverter
- Climate control systems: Covers most components related to your heating and cooling systems
- Suspension assemblies: Protects your front and rear suspension, bushings, bearings and shocks
- Steering and braking systems: Protects most parts of your steering and braking assemblies, including the power steering and anti-lock braking systems
- Electrical systems: Covers non-consumable parts of your electrical system, including sensors and power windows and seats
- Information and entertainment equipment: Covers your navigation system, display screen, audio equipment and Bluetooth-related components
Extended warranty coverage exclusions
Porsche Taycan EVSP plans have some general exclusions. These are common among extended car warranties, but make sure you understand them completely before purchasing coverage.
- Wear-and-tear components: Extended warranties don’t cover wear-and-tear parts like brake pads, tires and wiper blades.
- Items covered by your manufacturer’s warranty: Extended warranty coverage will only kick in after your factory warranty coverage has expired.
- Certain types of damage: Your warranty won’t cover damage caused by accidents, weather, neglect or lack of maintenance.
- Pre-existing conditions: Any pre-existing issues with a pre-owned Taycan won’t be covered by an extended warranty.

Porsche Taycan extended warranty cost
Porsche doesn’t disclose its pricing for its extended warranties, so it’s typically best to get a quote from a local Porsche dealer. However, Porsche extended warranties typically cost between $1,800 and $7,000, according to our research.
Keep in mind that extended warranty costs can vary widely based on factors like:
Age and mileage
The sooner you purchase your extended warranty, the lower your costs are likely to be, as the risk of needing repairs increases with mileage and age.
Coverage level and term
The level of coverage you select, such as bumper-to-bumper coverage or powertrain coverage, will generally influence your warranty’s total costs. Your costs will also typically be higher the longer your term is.
Deductible option
Porsche lets you choose either a $100 or $250 deductible. Higher deductibles mean you’ll pay more for each covered repair, but you’ll also pay less upfront. However, if you take your Taycan to the same dealer you purchased it from, your deductible is waived.
Porsche Taycan extended warranty eligibility rules
You can purchase a Porsche extended warranty for new, pre-owned or certified pre-owned (CPO) Taycans. You can purchase an extended warranty at any time before the factory warranty expires. For pre-owned or CPO Taycans that are no longer under factory warranty, you must purchase a Porsche extended warranty at the time of purchase.
Note that CPO Taycans also come with a 2-year/unlimited-mile CPO warranty, which starts at the time of purchase or after the factory warranty expires, whichever is later.
Should you get a Porsche or third-party extended warranty?
Dealer-backed auto warranties tend to be more expensive than third-party extended auto warranties. However, many third-party auto warranty companies still don’t offer coverage for EVs, so a Porsche extended warranty may be your only option.
Still, when comparing Porsche vs. third-party extended warranties, consider:
Term and mileage limits
Porsche’s maximum extended warranty term and mileage for the Taycan is 10 years and 100,000 miles. Some third-party companies provide coverage for longer periods and up to much higher mileage limits.
Coverage tiers and customizability
Porsche only offers one extended warranty plan for its EVs. Third-party warranty companies may offer more plan options or customizable coverage.
Eligible mechanics
With a Porsche extended warranty, you must visit an authorized Porsche Center or an authorized and licensed repair facility. With a third-party warranty provider, you can generally go to any technician with automotive service excellence (ASE) certification.
Customer service experience
If you go with a Porsche extended warranty, it’s relatively easy to figure out what your customer experience will be like. Going with a third-party warranty company means you’ll need to do more research, as experiences can vary widely among companies.
FAQ
Is an extended warranty worth it for a Porsche Taycan?
An extended warranty may be worth it for a Porsche Taycan if it provides comprehensive coverage, which can provide peace of mind against potentially expensive future repairs. However, there’s never a guarantee that you’ll run into a problem later on, which means you could end up spending more on an extended warranty than you save. In general, Porsches tend to have above-average dependability, according to J.D. Power.
Can you transfer a Porsche Taycan extended warranty?
You can transfer a Porsche Taycan extended warranty purchased from Porsche if you sell your car to a new owner, though a $50 transfer fee will apply.
Can you cancel a Porsche Taycan extended warranty?
Yes, you can cancel a Porsche Taycan extended warranty that was purchased from Porsche at any time. If you cancel after 30 days, you’ll need to pay a cancellation fee.
