a lot of my friends tell me that Porsche F's you up the A** with their prices for their products…
it's nice to see Porsche formalizing that sentiment with their charging port location…
I'd only carry any mobile charger with me these days if I'm leaving my "home area" and research indicates I'm going someplace with no public charging infrastructure (national park for example) - having a mobile charger in the frunk of your EV is so 2015 (this is my evolving position as we all...
It's interesting to note - Porsche's Sept. 2022 NTSB article no longer recommends using 120V charging - only for "emergency" use and for no more than 12 hours.
I believe this to be good advice, and I think it has more to do with the average quality of pre-existing 120V circuits in 99.9% of...
Porsche has updated recommendation - interesting - attached to post #1 - analysis here for those that are interested - https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/charging-related-porsche-tsb-article-interesting.13902/#post-208977
believe what you want to believe - but I am honestly sad tonight about the state of Porsche EVSE - EV charging is already complex and people get confused - this is simply additional complexity for future EV owners and entirely avoidable…the impact of this is erosive and confusing to those that...
post #1 updated with a disclaimer - Porsche can not be my (or any sane person's) recommendation for L2 North American charging equipment - please seek one of many many excellent alternatives for your home EV charging needs and just ignore the Porsche offerings in North America.
their cars are...
we now have confirmed reports that the Porsche Wall Charger Connect lacks greatness and suffers from similar incompatibility problems as the PMC+/PMCC in terms of charging non-Porsche EV's
I take no pleasure in this - and it is disappointing - I had high hopes for the PWCC - but this makes it a...
low end RWD Taycan is 402 HP
next step up is 469 HP w/4S
so 500 hp/400 ft/lbs of torque is kinda "easy" with EV motors - and a low CG - yeah I could see a 350 HP Boxster but the GTS version could be 500 HP or more - easy…
I'm hoping they focus on preformance at the expense of range - smaller lighter battery - little less range, but make up a bit in charging speed and less weight…solid 200 miles of range with some very very fast charging for a sports car could be a winning combination.
I think we've already...
I just ordered one
J-1772 connector
60/48 amp charging - adjustable to any breaker size
reliable
best charging animation in the business
and supports powersharing (shared circuit) for multiple units for your future multi-EV household
$550
and you can purchase a decortative glass front (black...
it's a matter of authorization - once a vehicle is "authorized" the chargers all deliver power the same/standard way - but on the "front end" of the negotiation you can put authorization to see if charging teh vehicle is "allowed"
the chargers are all the "same" (or they should be) - but they...
that doesn't mean they don't follow the standard (in porsche's case it does) but it does mean they can add behaviors to prevent charging - but that's counter productive to the standard in my humble opinion.
it should no problem - these chargers are not vendor or vehicle specific - at least they shouldn't be
if charging was vehicle specific you could not charge them at public chargers…because there is no way you could keep every public charger up to date to handle specific vehicles.
the North...
