Thank you. My car which I bought off the lot new came with a PMCC and the pricy housing unit but no portable charger. Is that typical if you order the car with PMCC?

What's PMC+ ?

My PMC/PMCC unit now defaults to 20 amps (internet upgrade no doubt as I didn't take it in). I learned early on is that charging mid-day in the summertime really heat up the unit and cord (don't know about the plug). Since then I've charged after midnight; that has worked out well. A quick...

Thanks so much for taking this on.

The letter from Porsche doesn't exactly warn against raising the charging rate to the max 40 amps. I have easy access to my charger. Since I only charge up once or twice a week, resetting amperage back to 30, 35 or 40 is only a minor inconvenience (again, for me). From now on I'll probably go...

Couldn't find the PMCC unit for sale on Porsche's website, which is surprising. (Maybe I missed it.) Thought it was an aftermarket addition for those who didn't get the PMCC and enclosure w/ their car. Anyway, I agree this is a disappointing development with some compensation warranted. I...

Another take on a charging solution: A 3D printer fabricator on Etsy who was good enough to create a Taycan cupholder insert to hold an Apple-compatible Qi charger. Here's the relevant page: https://www.etsy.com/3DCreationsShopUS/listing/1297008198/cup-holder-cover-for-magsafe-chargers For my...

I ordered it from 3dcreations ... here's some info. on their product... Here's their Etsy page: https://www.etsy.com/3DCreationsShopUS/listing/1297008198/cup-holder-cover-for-magsafe-chargers btw, regarding Qi chargers, I discovered yesterday that the inside-the-compartment USB-C chargers...

I located a 3D printer fabricator who was good enough to create a Taycan cupholder insert to hold an Apple-sized Qi charger. For my purposes (charging, get-phone-out-of-pocket, occasional peek at phone) this works great. The MagSafe hold is reliable and the cord was esay to snake into the...

The shown designs are attractive but I'm not primarily interested in viewing my iPhone while driving. On the other hand, the built-in Taycan Qi phone charger is, ah, a bit too compartmentalized and hidden away. Long story short, I located a 3D printer fabricator who was good enough to create a...

Another + for the performance battery is that over time the standard battery charging potential will naturally decline and mileage along w/ it. So the performance battery will keep you from having a range of, say, 160 miles (charging to the recommended 80%), when the car is 7-8 years old.

Glad to read this ... the cars I'm seeing advertised are in the $160K-$180K range such as 2020 Turbos. The fact the price is 'reduced' doesn't mean much in the abstract; maybe the sellers were asking a premium?

If the online services in the U.S. are any indication folks are having to reduce the original asking prices on used Taycans in order to attract buyers.

Shoot! I was going to suggest getting several of each. :)

This report is typical of all the EA stations I've encountered in California (so far). Although undoubtedly not intended by this VW subsidy, these systems seem to be aimed at an environment where an occasional EV rolls through rather than the U.S. (and presumably German) gas station model which...

This looks great. What object/material did you use to fill the cup area upon which the ESR sits?

A bit off topic: has anyone else considered fabricating an insert for one of the Taycan cup holders upon which could be attached/mounted a magnetic qi charger for an iPhone? It should be easily removable, take up very little space and allow view of the iPhone screen when needed (not often in my...

Thanks! If six of one or half a dozen of the other I don't know why one would charge to 80% instead of 85%.

I'm under the impression that the Porsche recommended normal target should be 80%, not 85%. Or was this changed for 2022 models? I have a '21.

The grill was also a non-starter for me. Otherwise would have seriously consider this as my previous car was a 328i (excellent vehicle).
