1) Yes it does. AutoCharge only has issues with cars that change the MAC address of the OBC, the Taycan does not do that as of now. 2) Plug & Charge means that a charging contract is stored in the car, so the car can present it to the charging station using a certificate instead of you having...

@daveo4EV did you realize this is the European version which is great for the Taycan? You might want to check this before jumping on every thread about this device.

@RSouthern Yes it is.

The web interfaces uses a REST api to fetch the data and also set new charging limits. A while back I wrote this code https://github.com/evcc-io/evcc/blob/master/charger/mcc.go which you could use as a basis.

You can not reboot the device remotely. Why do you think a reboot would trigger the Kangoo to start charging then? Did you test this?

@HighandDry I fully agree. Only wanted to mention your current options :)

You can use the open source software https://evcc.io or the Porsche HEMS. Loxone has EEBUS support, but they support EVSE units, so that is not possible as of now.

Login as a tech use, go to connections and then PLC connection to vehicle. Disable the setting. Changes may require a restart of the device to take effect.

I am in Europe: Daily charging an Volkswagen ID.3 with a PMCC, no issues. Tested lots of vehicles of different brands and all work. For some the PLC connection from the PMCC to the EV has to be disabled, as these EVs have faulty ISO15118 implementations on their end. Examples for EVs with the...

In theory it should. It is always instead of, as long as certificates are only handled in the EV with the current ISO15118-2 standard. The upcoming version ISO15118-20 allows to store up to 5 certificates in the OBC and then the user could either choose or it could be auto selected by best price...

@WasserGKuehlt The charging certificate is issued by the mobility service provider (e.g. Porsche Charging Service) and installed to the Taycan via a compatible charging station when first using the RFID card/app. When it is expired, the charging card has to be used again to get a new charging...

Plug & Charge is a feature of a mobility service provider like Porsche Charging Services. So if I charge in Europe at a charing station that also support Plug & Charge (Ionity, Aral, BP, ...) and I do not use another charging provider RFID or app before plugging in, I will be billed with...

@Tooney The charging station has to support it. In Europe multiple charging networks support Plug & Charge, e.g. Ionity, Aral, BP, and more. I can't say anything about the US though. Plug & Charge is not bound to a specific charging service provider, anyone can adopt and support it as it is...

OTA authentication and Plug & Charge authentication do not share anything. Plug & Charge uses a contract certificate from your mobility provider, which mostly is the Porsche Charging contract for Taycan owners, but also could be any other. A detailed description of the Plug & Charge process can...

The problem in the MY20 models is the On-Board-Charger (OBC) hardware. It doesn't have the ability to store and use the required certificates. This was introduced in the MY21 version of the OBCs (11kW and 22kW). The only way to support Plug & Charge is to retrofit the 22kW OBC.

@or1 he absolutely his, I follow him closely :) But a researcher saying what he expects in the medium term means it is not even there yet in research. And moving from research to production is a long way

Maybe we should clarify the article. It says: So this is not a statement from Porsche that they will release a product with this range, but an estimation of a professor working on battery technology. Clearly saying that such a range can be expected in the medium term. Whatever medium term...

For devices that do not have the update installed, you can get details about the update or download the update files here: https://contact.porsche.com/usa/accessoriesandservices/porscheservice/software-update/

There is no real user benefit connecting the PLC+ to the network for most users. So nothing to worry about.

@Gubab what do the grid measurements in the HEMS show? In general, timers should work with PV surplus charging. They are not exclusive. I do not have any insights into how the HEMS logic is implemented. So I can only guess. In the end, Porsche Engineering should have the task to make sure this...
