https://www.yahoo.com/autos/tested-best-ev-chargers-2022-144600011.html for some reason the PMCC is not listed - but the JuiceBox, Tesla, ChargePoint are… any of the chargers listed here would be a good choice for a home charger.

it's worth noting since the original authorship of this article the world has moved on (Sept. 2020) - while I still highly regard the Clippercreek products Porsche now has an excellent North American charger with adjustable AMPS from 20-100 amp breakers - the Porsche Wall Charger at $1500'ish is...

my test drive of the Polestar sedan made me hate it - I'm not a customer.

the last thing I want is another account…

fixed - your post indicated curiosity but not a willingness to purchase sight unseen all others had a higher degree of sucker tattooed on their foreheads no disrespect intended

ok - so this thread is the official production list for Porsche Germany - we are "keepers of the list" so far the official non-changeable and fixed production schedule for this vehicle is: @Mr.Smith @schad @DerekS @B61 @daveo4EV @tbinmd @Evpower @OTPSkipper @GoDucksYellO @artdept @nafzal80...

agreed - I'll wait in line…wasn't trying to jump in front of you.

yes please & thank you.

80 amp is 64 amps charging rate for one vehicle… which is 15,360 watts - or 15.36 kW - @ 3 miles/kWh that is a charge rate of 46 miles range per-hour of charge…that's pretty good full charge time @ this rate for 84.3 kW @ 10% charging overhead is: 5.97 hours _WORSE_ case vs 5 hours for the...

clipper creek HCS80 has share2 function where two HCS80 ‘s can be configured to share load off a single breaker

_IF_ it were to do this you would most likely need the Porsche Home Energy Manager to do this - but I'm not sure if it will manage total load between multiple (2 or more) Porsche Wall Chargers… I'm very interested in one of these - but so far it does not appear to be a "thing" in North American...

if it's a 60 amp breaker and wire it's safe it's probably a NEMA 14-50 receptacle - and it's probably a NEMA 14-50 EV charger (EVSE) which mean it's configured to only pull 40 amps there is no way for the EV charger to "know" there is a 60 amp breaker/wire - and it think's it's a 50/40 amp...

that is the charge rate of 9.6 kW “raw” - which is a 50 amp break (40 amp charge rate) - what charger are you using and how is it configured - with 60 amp breaker (48 amp charge rate) you should expect 10 kw or more shown in the vehicle during charing.

if you had only installed a 50 amp (breaker) - (40 amp charge rate) -the screen would show something like 8.8 kW instead of 10.4 kW… the 10.4 kW means you’re using the full 48 amps (60 amp breaker).

It should be noted that for levels 6 and above the newly available North American Porsche Wall Charger for $1600 is probably _GREAT_ choice - it has adjustable AMP’s so it can fit most _ANY_ install and provides support for charging from 20-80 amps (24-100 amp 240V breakers) - if you’re going...

so 13” (or 12”) is required for building code - cause they don’t want to much exposed wire… so there is no function difference as I noted, but it’s a building-code/safety/requirements thing.

no reason - a supply cable is just wire with a plug on the end - short cables are cheaper and 13” seems about right for positioning the charger vs. the plug - also the longer the cord the more “hassle“ it is to manage, hide, prop up or simply keep it out the way - also for 240V wire there are...

i saw and reacted - what an awesome write up - nicely done!

right now on homedepot.com 50 ft of 10/2 wire (minimum gauge for 50 amps) - 3 conductor wire (2 hots + ground) is $126 50 ft of 10/3 wire (minimum gauge for 50 amps) - 4 conductor wire (2 hots, neutral, ground) is $173 so about a $1 foot 8 gauge is preferred for longer runs of 50 amps - and...

cost - purely cost - copper wire is expensive these days - and your electrician will pull either 3 wire 6/8 gauge wire (hot, hot, ground) or 4 wire 6/8 gauge wire (hot, hot, neutral, ground) - depending on time of day, supply chain issues, wholesale vs. retail, inventory, time, temperature, DJ...
