    Home Charging Methods & Tariffs in the UK

    For those who’ve been informed of the new lower rates for Intelligent, were you already on it? I’m on a GO tariff expiring in 3 weeks and Octopus keep pushing Intelligent but with day rates far in excess of what you’re being quoted. Their CS reps don’t seem to know anything about it either so at...

    Charge Cards UK

    Assuming you’ve set up the charging service with Porsche, plug and charge should still work at places like Ionity and Porsche themselves so giving you the discounted rate. Just need to ensure it’s selected on in the PCM in the car itself and it should be as simple as it sounds. Enjoy!

    North Coast 500 (UK)

    We did it last year (admittedly in an ICE Aston) but one of our companions did it in a BMW i4. Not a lot up there by way of speed for chargers but they managed by leaving it in various town centres for a few hours each day. Pretty sure they got a ChargePlace Scotland card for the trip too. Long...

    Is it better to wait for %20 and charge ? Is it good have less charging cycles?

    Of late I’ve exclusively charged the car at IONITY (probably for the last 12k miles out of 27k covered) so I’m definitely testing the battery life wrt to repeated high speed charges. As of now I’ve noticed no particular change in capacity etc - also often take it to 99%. As noted, it’s got a...

    Any thoughts/experiences with the Fiat 500e?

    Good colour choice. Love the ocean green. It’s a doppelgänger for ours. ?

    IONITY Chargers

    I use Baldock and Cringleford multiple times a week and the P and C works a treat at both. Baldock is markedly slower than Cringleford (the latter always gives me 250kw plus at the start, whereas Baldock only ever seems to give a max of 150kw - first world problems, I know!).

    Any thoughts/experiences with the Fiat 500e?

    My wife has had one (La Prima hatch) for a year now and it’s an absolute gem. Chock-full of character and beats the Taycan hands down around town. Surprisingly well screwed together too bar the charging port door that loves to stick closed, especially in the winter. Perfect compliment to the...

    Octopus energy now supports Porsche for intelligent tariff.

    Sadly the daytime rate wipes out any saving we might have made when our Octopus GO tariff ends in July. Looks like OVO Drive anytime for us going forward. Real shame as Octopus have been excellent from a customer service POV. That said being on their tracker tariff for gas has been a real...

    Ah, apologies. My experience is over a year ago so very likely out of date.

    Thanks chap, gave up as couldn’t foresee getting the terminal back on cleanly due the plastic case behind it

    My Porsche App

    Just before I have a crack at this (I’ve found the how to on here) are there any reasons I ought to not do this?

    My Porsche App

    well, still nothing and a load of lost functionality. I suspect my LTE module has died rather than a server issue.

    Mine still not working. Software isn’t really their forte…

    Salary Sacrifice Schemes

    Hiya, I still think I was remarkably fortunate. I ordered mine in May 2021 and it arrived at the end of October that year. It has been suggested that if you really spec them up, they may be prioritised. I can’t speak to that with any authority but mine certainly did arrive quickly in comparison...

    If it’s Tusker it’ll be Porsche Exeter unless they’ve changed suppliers.

    Road trip charging - London to North East

    I’ve used Skelton Lakes Ionity and Gridserve Wetherby numerous times on the way up to Harrogate to see family a lot this year. Skelton Lakes can be very busy and, for a while, had a few offline or dispensing a charge for free but, consequently, at a much slower rate. Never had a particularly...

    Taycan to the Alps 18-day road trip 2022

    Absolutely, I trashed the rims on my SL500 a few years back on the normal carriages. Never again!

    Great Taycan Ad ……We Make Dreams Come Alive 😀

    Man, that‘s a dreadful advert. Way to stereotype Porsche drivers.
