why did I post this? Well I simply love a "better mouse trap" and feel people and companies that solve actual problems should be rewarded!!!
solutions like this are going to be necessary for EV adoption to continue - not everyone can upgrade their main panel to accommodate a home EV charger -...
for those that have "capacity" limitation problems with their existing home panels and don't want to endure the expense of a panel upgrade - consider the following…

sometimes despite people's wishes and goals one can not achieve optimal when it comes to retrofitting an existing home…this is often the case for existing residential users adding EV charging to their existing North American home.
the ideal setup for any aspiring EV owner is to ad a new...
it's just fancinating to watch existing legacy auto people continously make unforced errors - it's almost as if they don't want EV's to succeed and they just want it all to go back to the way it was
it's sooooo hard to move an entrenched industry…

the North American Porsche EV charger is not a quality product - 4+ years of history has demonstrated it to be deeply flawed - Porsche's efforts to improve it have actually made it worse…buy an alternative North American EVSE from someone else and move on…many on this forum have and are quite...

as noted by others - at least for North America - the Porsche EVSE family (PMC, PMC+, PMCC, PUC) is a poor choice as a "mobile" EVSE to carry with you.
it has a terrible history
it's big
it's bulky
it's heavy
the PMC, PMC+, PUC has a short charging cable
has a limited selection of NEMA adapter...
in North America it's different - if you encounter an installed EV charging stations it provides it's own cable - the EVSE that comes with the vehicle is only useful if you plan to charge with a bare electrical plug/outlet - which is increasingly rare…
what I do carry with me is a TeslaTap...
for anyone curious about tracking a car - and want to spend a pleasant day at world Renown Laguna Seca Raceway - here is a low cost, low effort, low risk way to track your Taycan (or any other car) with out the risk or wear and tear!!
Come out and have some fun...
Porsche continues to impress with their "support" of their EV chargers - one of the main reasons to avoid Porsche as your EVSE (EV charger) vendor is:
