    Taking One Lap of the Country in my Taycan Turbo - 10k miles in 6 weeks Cross-Country Journal

    It’s a shame you can’t upload the manual. The Good to Know app’ has “coming soon” for the Taycan in UK and lots of us want the manual. . .

    Looking at the repeated 0-60 times, after two runs a 4S would be killing the Tesla and give it a good run at the start

    Home charging in the UK

    I’ve ordered a Zappi charger, rather than use the Andersen charger Porsche are pushing. Will get the 7.2kW from single phase. If you look back through this post, I showed details of a different charger from Porsche expected later in the year. It shows 9.6kW possible from a single phase.

    The reason is the charger is designed for two - three phase operation. Using a single phase (UK), you will only get 3.6k as it only uses a third of the inputs. I suspect later in the year a different Porsche charger will deliver the 7.2kW, but don’t expect a replacement. . . .

    U.K. Launch/Deliveries pushed back?

    AC home charging:- If you use the Porsche supplied charger it’s just over 3kW from a single phase 240V. If you have three phase - unlikely for most - it’s 11kW. I’ve just ordered the Zappi 2 charger to allow 7.2kW from a single phase supply. This charger also has the advantage that it can...

    It will be a brake-by-wire system. When the brake pedal is depressed re-gen braking is blended to produce the deceleration. Moderate braking will be done using re-gen only and aggressive braking will blend in hydraulic pressure and motor braking.

    I was wondering how well the heating system worked? Very little has been written about how effective it is.

    What changes are expected from June 2020 onwards

    Me, I want the soft close option. It’s on my Panamera and it’s brilliant. A real shame I was unable to spec it on the Taycan.

    Is Your Dealer Showing You The Love?

    I think us buying the first cars probably have more information than the dealerships because we have been doing the research. That’s been the case with the Porsche centre I have ordered with. Let’s all hope things get better. . . .

    UK Taycan build slots

    I’ve had a similar experience with my 4S. I’ve just ordered a Zappi charger. That will do 7kW from a single phase. Andersen are talking 12 weeks plus for their charger.... the Porsche supplied 11kW charger will only do 3.6kW from single phase as it has been designed for 2 or 3 phase operation...

    Home charging in the UK

    Looking at the extract from the charger installation documentation it shows more than the low 3.6kW charging current. It shows up to 9.6kW. from single phase 40A supply.

    Charging Connect - available power in UK from single phase?

    Information I have received from Porsche is saying the charger will only supply 3.6kW from a single phase supply (240V) UK. If I want to charge at 7kW I will need to purchase the Andersen charger! Another £1000. The installation manual appears to show an option - with a 32A supply - for 7kW...

    Home charging in the UK

    I’m not sure you will get 7.6kW from the charger on single phase in the UK. From the information I’ve being seeing it appears The Porsche charger is only capable of providing 3.6kW! So just the 30 hours to charge For your forced £730 option. I hope I’m wrong........
