Now I'm really curious how Porsche managed to keep the Taycan so low. Probably used denser (and more expensive) battery packs.

I believe the reason they were able to keep the car so low is that the Taycan was designed to be electric and the battery pack housing is a structural part of the car. The i5 is basically a retrofitted ICE car.
