kill it!! kill it with fire!! which if you just attempt to use it normally, is about what happens!

this is a reasonable concern - I've heard multiple sources that Porsche is not "interested" in the Taycan anymore … I'm thinking no more Taycan, but that would make me sad … and is not my desired outcome I think a lot will have to do with how the Cayenne EV does _IF_ there is a gen 2 Taycan...

that has been the pattern… taycan j1.0 2020-2024 taycan j1.2 2025-2027 taycan j2.0 2028??? the pattern above follow SOP. for other porsche models only porsche knows if this recipe will be used for Taycan

AC/DC losses are commonly 10% loss - 11,000 watts (11kw) is an 1,100 watt loss just for the AC/DC conversion overhead the OBC is the ac/dc converter that changes ac power to the dc power required by the battery - the overhead in this conversion is inline with nominal industry expectations - 7%...

the update may only hobble OBC's in vehicle's that are known to porsche to have a problem - we'll never actually know if/how/why Porsche is limiting the max charge rate since we can't even get them to acknowledge they are doing it… simple fact is the "in car" charge rate is not the raw power...

I'm going with internet standards and trying to increase my engagement fees/income with click-bait headlines…everyone else is doing it - so why not me? thanks for the heads up (and yes it's not their only OTA update) but again I'm embracing fake news - tired of swimming upstream…

if you read through the entire thread it _IS_ a drop in what the charger is delivering - the OBC now only draws 40 amps vs. the 48 amps it used to draw… this is not just change in display data - it _IS_ a reduction in electrical current draw/load.

NOTE: it's reasonable speculation to postulate that reducing power flow levels may increase OBC reliability but there is zero evidence backing up this well founded speculation. Also Euro vs. North America are different beasts given 3 phase AC power vs. Split-Phase AC power for the two regions…...

22 kW is a thing in Europe and more likely than North America…

the update onlyu applies to North America…

sadly unlike Telsa you can not "reduce" the charging rate via any in car software - the _ONLY_ way to charge at a slower speed is if you setup your EVSE to offer less power - there are _NO_ controls inside the vehicle to reduce amps/kW's while charging… if you have a 22 kW OBC and want to...

this _IS_ the core issue - the cars have always done 48 amps when used with a 48 amp capable EVSE - but Porsche has mostly published that Taycan is a 9.6 kW OBC - which clearly contradicts the observed behavior with North American Taycan's shipped since 2019 and into MY'2024 vehicles - it's only...

if you have documentation showing a North American Taycan w/11 kW OBC then you have a strong case to question why Porsche is doing this. my guess is their OBC is shitty and they don't like the implictions of running single phase 240V @ 48 amp through their component - but that is pure...

yes 48 amps was the previous limit allowed by the OBC on North American taycan's - EVSE's that could report the actual limit would report 47.8 amps for charging sessions with my 2020 Taycan Turbo… Porsches _IS_ neutering the North American OBC's to 40 amps 240v * 40 amps is 9.6 kW "raw" 208v *...

I think you're making this too complex and confusing some things… 208V in North America is not 3 phase coming out out the EVSe - there are not enough physcial -electrical pins in the J-1772 connector to delivery 3-phase AC power…it only has two high voltage pins/connectors L1/L2 and in the case...

I think we can both agree Porsche has had a "fluid" relationship with their standard OBC's actual charging limits since at least 2019 - only recently has there been consistency in both the standard equipment claims and the actual behavior of the hardware… and what about the 11 kw Taycan OBC...

post #70 on this thread shows Porsche claiming an 11 kW OBC for MY'2023 Taycan's… https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/march-2026-update-porsches-only-ota-update-hobbles-north-american-taycans-to-max-9-6-kw-charge-rate….1793/page-5#post-245256 it would be interesting to know the evolution...

Porsche has never confirmed/denied 11 kW for North American Taycan's - they have posted and removed 11 kW OBC as a specification at various times on the North American Configurator "standard" equipment technical list… currently the MY'2026 Taycan lists 9.6 kW as the OBC for the Taycan in...

excellent suggestion - I hope my title update meets with your approval!!! Thanks for the suggestion.

it's a 20% loss in charging speed - for all practical considerations 240V 48/40 amp AC charging _IS_ linear - 11 kW vs. 9.6 kW doesn't really taper off until greater than 98/99% battery SOC - only above 98/99% do we start to see maximum charge rates that are less than 9.6 kW - and at that point...
