Seems to me that Porsche “do maintenance on the servers” all the time which makes the Porsche app and any other apps that use the Porsche Connect API very unreliable. My car ended up with 100% charge this morning because the OVO ChargeAnytime app lost connectivity to the servers after 01:00 this...

Speed bump was immediately before the automatic gate at the main west side exit to the carpark onto Cliveden Road. Looking at European prices, the part seems to be €48, so I expect to pay at least £48 at an OPC Or more. I wish I’d stopped to pick it up.

Can anyone recommend an online source of Taycan parts in the UK? I know I can order parts from an OPC, but I'd really prefer not to interact with those folks unless I really have to. I'm after a a jacking point socket, part No 9J1802819. Yesterday, while exiting the car park at Cliveden...

Is it Carrara White or flat whit? If it’s Carrara White, then it may require some adjacent panel blending to get it to look right. It might be advisable to get a quote from a body shop to check. Somewhere like Specialised Paintwork near PRG Reading could do this.

Yes, it does feel like we are early adopters of the ChargeAnytime platform that still really needs some development and also some enhanced system maintenance. I think the main advantage it has over Octopus’s offering is that you can get a discounted EV charge any time of day. My first EV was a...

Deleting the Kaluza account and recreating it worked ok for me though the car had already reached the required state of charge before I noticed. Everything seems to be connected and working again now. To delete the Kaluza account, open the ChargeAnytime app, select the Account tab, and then tap...

More OVO ChargeAnytime Kaluza problems. Today, the Kaluza servers seemed to loose connectivity to the Porsche servers for my account so that the app got stuck with stale information. Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be any way to force the servers to reconnect. Nor does there appear to be...

Mine seems to have an LTE data connection just now including app and server connectivity etc.

I’ve just been bitten by what I consider to be a bug in the Kuluza platform. It seems that once a charging session has reached the desired SoC, the Kaluza platform writes a new Enode timer to the car for 100% SoC a day or two in the future. However, if the car looses contact with the Porsche...

Disappointingly, I have concluded that ChargeAnytime isn’t really ready for prime time when used with the Porsche software stack. However, it is better than nothing. I am sure it would work much better with one of the supported EVSEs rather than directly with the car. Just don’t expect to get...

Min state of charge is set to 10% in the app and it charges to 90% currently. On that particular charge, SoC was 76% when plugged in and finished at 90% as expected. Those extra peaks took the car to 91% and no rebate on the extra 1%. I did email the OVO EV support line asking about the rebates...

Has anyone found a way to use ChargeAnytime to charge a Taycan and reliably get the correct rebate calculated? I'm always getting short changed. For example, on Saturday, I plugged my EVSE into the car and let it do its ChargeAnytime thing. Even though it was 13:30 when plugged in...

Delivery time is very dependent on which model you order and from which OPC you order it. My RWD was ordered from PRG Reading and was delivered in March in just under 6 months.

Did you wait a reasonable time after the charge finished before looking at the power used and the rebate. I have found that immediately after the charge finishes, the ChargeAnywhere app shows a lower power and rebate than if you look half an hour or an hour later. It’s almost like the app...

My experience with innodrive on my MY20 Cayenne E-hybrid is that it would likely damage a lot of folks if it was approved for hands free driving even in motorways. People will just chill out too much and it’s speed limit observation will cause too many issues. I did not spec innodrive on my Taycan.

Did the charging measurements today. Charged from 66% to 90% starting at 13:00 and finishing at 16:36. Monitored power delivered to the EVSE and reported on the centre console. During the test period, calculated losses appeared to run at around 7%. For example, at 66% SoC, the center console...

Yes, I can measure this. I’ll take a look next time I need to charge. Log into your account on the OVO Energy web site. This will show your account details much earlier than the mobile apps (in my case, it showed information at least a week earlier). I set up the ChargeAnytime app once details...

Hmm, ok. I guess I hadn’t thought this through properly! I kind of assumed that because OVO wanted a SmartMeter which logs consumption every 1/2hr for ChargeAnytime, this information would somehow be factored into the calculation. Of course, it can’t be used because the non EVSE consumption...

I switched to OVO Energy and ChargeAnytime a few weeks ago and have now completed several charges using the ChargeAnytime app. I continue to see a discrepancy between the number of KWh that get the ChargeAnytime rate and the number of KWh my home energy monitors report have been delivered to the...

I walk past one of the opened Tesla Supercharger forecourts regularly. Looking at the layout and the length of the cables, I think it would be impossible to charge a Taycan at this site. I will give it a go sometime…
