It was more this total clanger which showed the poster was either ignorant of the fact that the Porshce, while having the advanced 800V system can charge at all the public chargers or just being deceptive.

Currently, about 85% of EVs in North America use the Tesla charging connection
about 10% of EVs use CHAdeMO (mostly Leafs)
The last 5% are failed EVs that use the awful CCS charging system
The fact that one person in the USA happens to have a couple of fast DC CCS charging connections near them doesn't change the fact that it's a really poor choice in North America for almost all that are buying an EV.
I have no problem if someone scopes out the limited CCS locations that work for them and are willing to put up with the connection and network hassles of CCS. Go for it!
I forgot about the security in numbers. I never worry at Superchargers, as there are often 2 or 3 others charging on the routes I take. With CCS chargers, I always see them empty. I don't know if that's because they are broken or so few users. That means being alone if you have to charge at CCS, which some are at sketchy locations. No thanks.

CCS chargers are empty bc no one is traveling in compliance EV's with lacking range and charging network.

No, you have to find an 800v CCS connection to use that fast DC charging. Now it is true that a Taycan can charge at any CCS connection, but many are either slow AC (< 50 kW) or limited to 400v and 150 kW. So yes they can charge, just even slower at most CCS charge points. That's why the Taycan has a 400v charging option. If they didn't need 400v charging, they would not have engineered it into the car.
Come on @Bighorn I am sure there are some Porsche owners that would love to charge at a max 50kW so they can sit there forever and allow other people to just stand and stare in awe of the Taycan...at the Target in Atlanta that according to a Jaguar I-Pace owner, like the "ambiance" of the station.
You cannot buy any variant of Taycan, fully loaded, for under $200,000.
Just as I stated repeatedly above.
How else will my neighbor not think I bought the cheap one, unless I have the matching monogrammed SportDesign Package in Carbon Fiber? The purpose of a Porsche is not performance. It’s to shoes everyone hoed exclusive one can be.

With what metric? Certainly not total kWh delivered.

At what voltage does it charge on most DC chargers?

Like I explained, there’s no such thing as a base price model. It’s a delusional fantasy.
Oh...and the supremacy of the aryan automobile.
:)
What should be pointed out is that you CANNOT buy a Taycan for under $200,000.*
