Team,
as you know I have been no fan of Electrify America - and highly critical of their charging network and it’s interaction with my Taycan - my personal success rate with EA has been very very low, with me personally discovering new failure modes that boggle the mind…
hold on to your hats...
as we all have been exposed to the 12V problem legitimate questions have come up about 12V trickle chargers vs. 12V boosters. I think this deserves conversation since they both potentially solve the problem, but attack it from different angles.
A 12V trickle charger will keep the 12V battery...
1st off it needs to be acknowledged that the _ONLY_ thing I am doing here is publishing other people's research - too many to name - but I believe we all would agree most of the credit goes to @louv who's early diagnostics and instructions are the guide we are all benefiting from.
a big...
well I've been struck by the 12v problem - will attempt to revive
car will go to dealership in the morning.
finished a 240+ trip - got home fine (16% battery) left the charge plugged in and charging over night - woke up this morning and it's completely dead.
Team,
I've been working and working, but I"m too stupid.
has anyone found a way to:
delete a charging timer via the PCM interface?
delete a charging profile via the PCM interface?
I'm able to do it via the Web-UI on login.porsche.com?
but I haven't found a way to do it "in the car" via PCM...
Team,
like many I ordered the Porsche InnoDrive, and like many I’ve been underwhelmed. But in addition to being underwhelmed there is a pesky problem with Innodrive in that when on Innodrive cruise control there are occasional “errors” in the speed limit data - this will manifest itself by the...

they honestly shutdown their charging network over the weekend on one of the busiest driving weekends of the year!!!
I'm sending a letter to Porsche asking them to buy Tesla and convert the Supercharger...
you've read the post - now declare your EV charging level!!
see the following post for your level choices…

Dec. 2022 - Porsche recommends Hubble NEMA sockets - 6 gauge wire for your 50 amp circuit - and no longer recommends using L1/120V charging for "daily use" - these are all good recommendations - but they also attempt to shift blame to operational problems from their PMC/PMC+/PMCC to "low...
basically the answer is:
because you already have that type of plug installed in your garage or near your garage and plan to use that type of plug as your main power source for charging your Taycan.
_IF_ you are installing “new” for your Taycan - get the NEMA 14-50 supply cable which is the...
10:15 am update 11/07/2020 - Weather is spectacular - sunny, cool, a beautiful fall day - one of those days that almost makes you want to live in california!! I’m there now - and will be here for a bit! Hope to see you all - I’m parked next to a gorgeous blue Taycan @ chargers! See you all in...
I used this for the first time last night - it was a great experience - really really makes starting a charging session much easier. This should be un-necessary because as a Taycan Owner you should use the Charge America app to start your charging sessions cause then you get 30 mins...
I have provided this eMail to my local Porsche dealer and requested they contact Porsche North America with my experience…
summary: this was my 2nd successful EA charging experience (out of 16 attempt) - but it was almost a failure due to plug-release issues…
my Taycan is fully patched at this...
Hello all,
I'm thinking about a pre-labor day Taycan Fest - participation is voluntary - and will be socially distanced w/masks please!!
Open to all automotive enthusiasts - but particular attention to Taycan owners and those with a Taycan on order, or other EV's
I'm going to take lunch @...
just picked up my car from Porsche Service - pano roof replacement + software updates + clear side markers…
I can report the car still charges at 11 kw charge rate - I was 5% concerned Porsche might nerf the charge rate to make the 9.6 kw maximum rate in the US specification, but not so far...
I’m really really hoping Porsche makes this available for MY’2020 vehicles - it will be a huge disappointment if this isn’t provided as either an OTA update, or dealer installed firmware.
I've confirmed my 2020 Taycan charges fine and adjusts it's charging rate dynamically when being charged via a JDApter/TeslaTap in a 4 charger Master/Slave/Slave/Slave 100 amp shared circuit Tesla Wall Charger Gen2 home charging situation
there now you don't have to read what's below.

Hello,
my Taycan has been charging at 40 amps for over 2 hours this morning at roughly 64 degrees ambient temperature. I gathered the following data from various points in the charging circuit:
all measurements are on Fahrenheit:
I think the NEMA 14-50 cable is getting too hot - probably due...
I'm loving my 2020 Taycan - but there is one issue
when shifting into reverse my passenger side mirror actually tilts "up&out" instead of "down&in" (so you can see curbs and such) - all attempts to recalibrate it have failed?
I've tried with the feature "on" I've tried with the feature "off"...
