Depends on your use case. If you use a lot of IONITY or other preferred partners the savings with the monthly-fee Plus card are significant - 39p/kWh vs 69p at preferred partners and OPCs. If you charge mostly at home then the monthly fee would be way too high. Also the free card can have way...

Ah yes, thanks. And it also seems the free version doesn’t have the overnight blackout period for the blocking charge which is quite mean. It has always been a confusing card with various scheme options. Most of us start on the Plus scheme which has a monthly fee but is free for the first...

Actually I see that the current price list is dated 6/6/26 so it may have just been changed - I think it used to be 240 minutes as referenced in your email from Porsche but is now 360. And as for some of their partnership agreements, some of the blocking charge rules appear to expire in...

The price list is very clear (available through the app or online) - you have been billed correctly per this pricing I think? I believe the routine at hotels is to start no earlier than 1800 (therefore no charges before midnight) and take the car off charge before 0800 (when the daytime...

Yes. It is not worth thinking about. Leave in auto and enjoy driving.

(Rare) exceptions to recuperative braking, per manual:

You know that’s not how a Taycan works, right? When you press the brake pedal the computer decides whether to use physical brakes, which it does rarely.

I use sport or sport+ on the Autobahn because I like the responsiveness after I’ve slowed for something. For your safety I also recommend choosing the distraction-free minimal display setting on the dashboard. Over about 180 I also silence the music and the passengers for 100% concentration...

Everyone who has some some proper rural driving (or a hit a few speed bumps) has holes like that in their cardboard-like Taycan undercarriage :-) My OPC said not to bother too much, fix it when you want to. They also know that if we replace the undertray we will just make another hole. What...

Yes I believe so

The advice I got on advanced driver training was ”ease and squeeze” - stomping on the accelerator is very tempting but also very uncomfortable for the passenger. Ease off, gently squeeze on.

Assuming your cable is properly made to standards the socket should accept it. It should accept any IEC 62196-2 Type 2 cable and on a road trip you might well find yourself charging somewhere that has a tethered three phase cable. Next time the car is in their workshop you may want to have the...

had this recently on my J1.2. Actually the left port was stuck part way open but the error message said right port. Apparently that is common (probably a UK right-hand drive weirdness). Each time it happened I was able to get the port back into action - instructions are on this forum somewhere...

I’ve had this several times when my mobile went out of range while using the app: when it reconnected the car had gone into privacy mode. Except that, as others have said ,it isn‘t actually in privacy mode and connection returns when you unlock the car. It hasn’t happened to me for a while but...

Yes. But they continue to miss the biggest opportunity: the manual should be automatically edited to match the vehicle's current option set. So easy to do, and it would make the manual so much less confusing.

When I bought my Model S all my friends said to me that it was a white elephant and would be rendered immobile within a year or two when Tesla went bust. I am so glad I pushed ahead with it -- now on our third Tesla and second Taycan -- the Model S was the one that proved EVs could not only be...

Imagine having to sit in the NHTSA office and read all this garbage that people submit as formal complaints ....

Weird. And almost Presidential in its use of capitals and grammar :)

Actually there is something weird going on with the Turkish data. I had lots of 320kW etc chargers, but now I don't. Or they appear at only a tight range of zoom levels. But neighbouring Bulgaria is fine. Perhaps a performance issue on some service that Porsche pulls the data from?

I can see them. Just to check a couple of mistakes we all make: - after resetting the filters you need to click "save" - on the map after searching for a location you need to click "show charging stations" at the top of the screen
