It's official - Porsche finally admits North American Taycan's have 11 kW onboard charger

[daveo4EV]

note the standard equipment screen shot from this morning!!! It's only taken them 3 years!!!

Until recently (I don't know when Porsche updated it) they incorrectly listed the North American Taycan as having a 9.6 kW on board charger - this in my opinion was always incorrect and showed confusion on Porsche's part between the external PMC+/PMCC EVSE's 9.6 kW limit and the actual capacity of the onboard AC/DC converter (onboard charger).

It's always been 11 kW the same as ROW - but in North America the specifications were off due to the difference in EVSE capacity and onboard charger capacity.

Porsche finally seems to have wrapped their heads around this fact and updated the standard equipment E-Mobility Section.

as noted in this thread nearly 3 years ago - Porsche has finally caught up https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/t...ot-max-9-6-kw-40-amps.1793/page-5#post-245256

Maybe the 11 kw on-board charger is new version and higher capacity......
You know, an improved part, like we hope the HV heater is....
And, rumored to work better with PMC+ and PMCC to prevent overheating.....

it's always been 11 kW but it might be a new part - although I'm unaware of any reliability problems with the existing part - but iteration always occurs

the main point is the Taycan has always been an 11 kW on board charger vehicle (unless you got the 22/19.2 kW option)

there never was a 9.6 kw onboard charger

to my knowledge porsche/vw/audi has the following AC/DC converters in supply chain

3.6 kW model for hybrids
7.2 kW model upgraded for hybrid
11 kW
19.2/22 kW model

'24 Cayenne now comes with 11 kW (probably same/identical/similar part to Taycan and Audi parts)

My first charge on a Taycan was using a 48 amp Tesla wall connector and a TeslaTap. Got somewhere north of 10.5kW as I recall.

When I got my VIN for my Cross Turismo in January of 2022, I used a VIN decoder to check if any of the options I ordered was eliminated.

Under Additional Equipment, it listed Option Code KB3, Charger 11 kW

I think I paid $5.00 for the full build sheet back in 01/2022.
