Fantastic looking car! You are going to absolutely love it. It looks like you got a certified and therefore the extended warranty. That is a great way to go. Also, good job on picking the best color!

Thanks people. Quick question but how long does it take to charge from from 20% - 80% on a commando socket? Weighing up whether to install a charger or use the one that comes with it

I don’t think I’ve seen those design rims painted in black before. Nice combo.

Edit: I made this post before knowing what Commando socket means in the UK. I am in the US and assumed it is just a basic (bare) outlet that if used is so slow that it would take up to 48 hours per charge. If our basic circuit would give me 7kW out then I would not need my dedicated directly wired EVSE that allows me to charge at 11kW overnight from 15% to 85% with a lot of pauses, so 7kW would be just fine.

Highly not recommended going commando (Level 1 charging) since it takes days.
This is what you get from Level 2 on PB+ that yours has per official spec:

Here ion the UK with commando socket and supplied Porsche mobile charger you will get the same performance as having a charge dispenser wired in and save yourself a grand or so if you have adequate wiring already.

You get around 7kW so a full charge from 0 to 100% is 11 to 12 hours but I have never needed that much.

If I had known before I ordered my Andersen box on the wall I would have just had a commando socket fitted myself.

One thing to note iirc it defaults to 50% power but is quickly switched to 100%.

It is common for one of the US members to assume everybody is in the USA ;)
I learned today that Commando in UK is Level 2. It is good for around 7kW I believe. Plenty good enough for overnight charging. But many elect to install a hardwired wall box at home, which in the USA can bump up the amps you get.

Also, with the flags, this is much better than Reddit r/Taycan, where there is no clue where someone is from, and a much larger percentage of USA members.

As F1eng says in the UK, 32 Amp supply will top out at 7.4 Kwh whatever charger you use (single phase which is the norm). 20% to say 85%, simply divide 65% of usable battery by 7ish to get charge time. 12 hours will happily do 0 to 100% near enough.

Does 'Going commando' have the same meaning in the US as over here?
