I see a great business opportunity for you. A fast charger in Arlon, Thionville, St. Avold and Colmar. Preferably close to or on highway parkings. This is a real blind spot between the west part of Belgium and Holland traveling to Italy, Switzerland and Austria over Brussels.
Thx for the tip! We are busy at several location, but it take a long time with the local politicians. I’ll keep you posted for the belux and france region.

Do the Powerland chargers support the Porsche Charging service. Are they included so we can get them in the navigator and use either the app, plug and charge or the Porsche Charging card?

We had this talk with the importer and now porsche ag is busy with this, mather of moments. Keep you posted. we are putting every charger in their connection system. It works with other brands, like bmw and audi, because they use dcs, day after installation is live and visible. Porsche works differently.

If they do, they should be listed on chargemap.com
Indeed, also we commit to post it on
ecomovement.com and eafu.eu. So local and Eu database for chargers.

Hi alex74,
Since you are working in this business, it would be most interesting if you can post updates in this forum about new planned chargers in Belgium and the nearby countries.
It is nice to hear about what is going on in this area.

I am used to not caring about super charging using the Tesla.
Now switching to Porsche, I am eager to see when we will be at the same level with non-tesla chargers.

Question for the Belgian members who already have their car. Does Porsche Germany sent a email when the car goes into production? Or did you get an email from the dealer? Production start should have been half January but now probably this or next week. Should be finished 24 feb.

Hi. I have been able to get 5% which seems like a good deal when you look at the current market.
Curious to know if others had the same conditions in Belgium too.
I also received 5% discount

Hi,
I am from Belgium too. Mamba green Taycan.

I travelled with a Tesla and never had charging issues. But with a Taycan it will be less easy. I will try that next summer.

The main problem I see currently for us is the lack of fast chargers if we travel south.
There are plenty of fast chargers in the Netherlands, Flanders, Germany, Scandinavia, Austria, Switserland,...
But once you go south: Wallonia, France, Spain,... it gets more difficult.
Looks like fast charging is a germanic and scandinavian thing. Not yet known in the latin part of europe :)

Going trough wallonia and north of France to the south (nancy) you have Tesla chargers in Arlon, Metz, Nancy,... Easily up to 50 chargers.
Non-tesla's have only Metz: 4 ionity chargers ! For all other brands combined. (and some charger in luxembourg and on the E411, but very very limited)
The result is: queues almost every day.

If I remember well there was a British forum member also complaining about this.

It is really ridiculous that Tesla can put 50 chargers in that region and VW/Audi/Skoda/Porsch/Ford/Huyndai/... can only put 4 !

I hope FastNed will start to expand more south. Ionity is expanding way too slow.
You may be in luck now with the Tesla Siperchargers opening up in France. Nancy is one of them that seems to be open now.

You get an (automated I think) email form Porsche Connect when your car finishes production, before transport. Then you can make add the car to your Porsche ID and you know it's coming. Still have to count 7-10 days after that (in my experience) before the car is at the dealer.

Also depends on the location because superchargers have short cables and the taycan charging port is not at the best location. So it's not always possible to charge at a tesla supercharger without blocking other spaces.
Agree that will be a challenge of course. But Nancy have 28 stalls so I am sure it must be possible to do somehow. Compare that to the bleak Ionity chargers (4 ) in Metz.

And the rates are very competitive. Certainly cheaper than Ionity without subscription.

Look forward to hearing anybody try this out in France. I do not have any nearby unfortunately

I just took a look at some photo's of the location and i think it will be difficult. They have parking stops and poles which make it impossible to park close to the charger.
