who the hell knows - december's a pretty good date and plausible - but I'd be unsurprised if it extends betyond that.

December would make me sad, but is likely an accurate estimate :rolleyes: :facepalm: : the list so far according to https://www.tesla.com/NACS the following is my thoughts: order of access will be: BMW - July? JLR - August? Honda/Acura - September? Toyota/Subaru -October...

I have my own adapter and have tried extensively to 'trick' a supercharger into charging my 2020 Taycan or 2024 Macan EV - it's never works at any of the supercharger's in the greater SF Bay area _ALL_ reports that I have seen noting a vendor working at a supercharger prior to authorization...

upto 6 Tesla Gen3 (NACS or Universal) can be "powershared" - see above where I note that I'm currently using 3 "powershared" units. link to the Installation guild provided below - and attached to this thread...

https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/north-america-faq-the-ultimate-guide-to-the-porsche-evse-pmc-pmcc-pwcc.13886/ Porsche charger's since the recall with the improved power supply cable suck less, but still suck. I'm of the opinion you're better off with one of the many excellent...

My Macan EV allows the following with FastDC charging Set SOC% but does not allow "scheduling" - so it's no good for my midnight to 7 am charging window.

you're not wrong but 20 kW is not "fast" charging from the perspective of the the battey - 200 kw and higher is "fast" charging… it's not the "DC" charging that "wears" the battery - it's stuffing 200-340 kW of power into the LiON cells that causes the "pressure" and wears them more...

I"m not saying there are not OBC failures at less than 22 kW - I"m saying it less likely - the Taycan fleet is not suffering systematic failures of all OBC units … but given community tear downs and reverse engineering we now know that the 22 kW unit's when run at a full 22 kW's have some...

yes it's bad - and yes it has a high failure rate- but it's only bad if you commonly use it's at it's worst when you commonly/routinely use it's 22 kW/19.2 kW capacity - having a 22 kW OBC on a Taycan but routinely using it at less than 22 kW should greatly extend it's life…but you don't always...

_ANY_ 20 kW EVSE will delivery 75 miles of charge per hour _IF_ the vehicle has the 22/19.2 kW on board charger…but most EV's do not offer an 20 kW OBC factory option anymore…so you're limited to about 7 - 11 kW max AC charging speeds for most EV's here are two AC EVSE's that will do 75 miles...

this effectively makes all EV's a 22 kW fast charging EV because it bypasses the limits of the onboard AC charger… the _ONLY_ reason I don't have one of these (other than the cost) is DC charging bypasses/disables all the onboard timers/profiles - so if you're on a TOU electrical pricing system...

the Tesla EVSE's are $650 each - honestly the electrical work here is the "cost" not the EVSE… https://shop.tesla.com/product/universal-wall-connector

most (99%) North American homes don't have any load sensing and therefore it's uncommon to have appliances/devices that "adjust" based on monitoring the home's overall usage - although this is changing it's changing slowly at the moment "emporia" is the only EVSE I'm aware of that integrates...

Two Tesla Universal Wall Chargers (they support up to 6 units "sharing') - they can "share" a single circuit/capacity - and will dynamically shift load based on actual usage I have 3 at home sharing a 100 amp circuit (80 amps of charing capacity) I routinely charge 1, 2, and 3 vehicle's at the...

I think the different with car is design and production is given to supply chain - where as with most electronics only production is "farmed" out - design/validation/conformance normally remains "in house"… the difference is where are the details sweated? with electronics the details are...

until Porsche came out with their EVSE I was unaware of any EVSE's that had problems, my experience was always they were a "solved" problem and not particularly challenging - they ere wall paper - not something you think about or notice…i Porsche has managed to bring shame/regret/incompetence...

added to post #1 - thanks! quite the history for a glorified on/off switch… this thread the ongoing discoveries about the internal problems with the OBC and it's lack of power-robustness seem to indicate that Porsche farming out EE design decisions to supply chain partners has had some...

I'm not worried about when they started making cars - I'm worried about when they started making/understanding brakes :p with the rise of ubiquitous information it's hard to have a technology "mote" - Porsche's secret sauce is less and less secret and the only thing separating products is time...

VW/Audi/Porsche remain in trouble - and yet there are signs of hope from other german's - this is what can happen if you focus on improving the future vs. reinventing the past (i.e. eFuels) https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/bmw/ix3-prototype/first-drive looks promising… I'm hoping to...
