I think you understand my post (at least in terms of my desired functionality). However, I don't think you understand how the charging function works. Yes, if you program a preferred charging window, the car will charge immediately to the minimum and then during your preferred charging times...

To answer one of your questions... what was my motivation? My off-peak rates are about 6.6 cents per kWh and on-peak is about 25 cents. So it cost 3-4 times as much to charge on peak. Also during peak hours, things like cooking, ironing, and air conditioning usually used up the capacity in the...

To be clear, I never placed a "value" - be it "good", "bad", or indifferent - on the length of any preferred charging interval or charging speed. I never assume it is sufficient or insufficient for a user. I am simply saying that if I want my car to charge ONLY during a specific timeframe, there...

It could still do this with a departure timer as a totally separate feature (e.g., "warm my seat, steering wheel, and battery at 5am"), without causing all the other charging confusion and charging functionality issues being discussed here. Besides, that is such a minor benefit as to be nearly...

You are leaving out the "hours" part of kWh. Voltage x amps / 1000 = kW. Porsche's standard 240 volt x 20 amp mobile charger that comes with the car yields 4.8 kW (since the software update that derated the device). You also lose about 7% between the charger and the battery, which means it...

Your "Check"s require "*" * Will charge ONLY during off-peak hours IF you have Home Energy Manager installed, otherwise, you need to have a high-amp charger. Why? Because even if you set a timer, if the battery is very low and you have a low-amp charger, it will start during peak hours if it has...

There are MANY threads here about confused owners trying to work this out. It is seriously the dumbest setup. I should be able to program what hours I want to allow it to charge (to take advantage of off-peak hours) and a target percentage. Maybe, just maybe a minimum charge it should charge to...

It sounds like you set the minimum charge to 85% and failed to set up a timer. The minimum charge is exactly that... it will charge immediately to the minimum. And it will keep charging unless you give it a reason to stop. The only way to get it to stop is with a timer. You must set a time and...

To be absolutely clear, I never meant to imply that you could possibly regen 15% (maybe if you started at the top of mt everest?). I just know that above a certain percent - and I don't know if that's 99%, 95%, 90% or 85% - but at a certain percent and above the car will stop attempting to...

The other thing to note about regen... the car won't regen when the battery is at or near 100% SoC (because there is no capacity left to charge). If you want the best "mileage" possible, only charge to 85% normally. This will allow regen to work the moment you pull out of your driveway...

I recently tested a new routing feature with a third-party software company. I am looking for a few volunteers to test the beta version of the feature. You must be a U.S.-based Taycan owner with either CarPlay or Android Auto and willing to provide detailed feedback and screenshots on the...

I installed the 80 amp Porsche wall charger with the 19.2 kW onboard charger. To answer your questions: 1) Should you option it? That depends, but it probably isn't worth it for most people. - If the EVSE is being installed in your house, consider the fact that you can already easily charge...

Based on posts from others, the battery pre-conditioning temp targets about 105 degrees F, or about 40 C. So gets pretty hot. I don't know if this varies based on factors like the outdoor temperature. I can't image the battery tries to heat that much during winter for example.

I agree. I think so far, the best I can come up with to solve all of these issues is the following: 1) Enter destination into car nav and display directions on HUD 2) Disconnect the phone from CarPlay so that you can use navigation apps on the phone without disabling the car's nav (and...

You cannot manually. It must be done through the nav function as it approaches a charging station that is a programmed stop in the nav. All that said, there is a "sort of" workaround you can do. If you set a departure timer, the car will 1) climatize the cabin, 2) heat or cool the seats, 3)...

I updated OTA today and my estimated range increased from about 262 up to 271. Small but noticeable difference for me.

Yes, literally everyone finds this confusing. They should just have three main settings. "Minimum charge", "maximum charge", and "only charge to maximum during these hours".

Above post is mostly correct, except you cannot choose a start time for the timer. Set your "minimum" to whatever you want the car to charge to right away. The lowest minimum you can set is 25%. Even during peak hours, if the car is plugged in it with charge up to 25% or whatever you have...

You can only display CarPlay (e.g., Apple Maps, ABRP, Google Maps) on the main console. The only navigation system that can be displayed in the instrument cluster or the HUD is the Porsche nav. It's "ok". It definitely doesn't route as efficiently in my experience. It tends to heavily favor...
