Buying a used Taycan, what's the inventory of cables/chargers should I make sure to receive with the car?

[Kbmore22]

I'm buying a used Taycan Turbo S with the following options listed:
-Mobile Charger Connect
-25 Ft Charging cable
-Supply Cable for 14-30 Electrical Socket

Can someone tell me exactly everything that I should be receiving with the car? For example, should I be getting 2 charging cables (the standard one and the mobile charger?). Is there a supply cable for other types of sockets (ie: Nema 14-50)? etc. The dealer is a non-Porsche dealer so they don't know everything that should come with the car but I know they would locate the part for me if it was missing.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Congratulations on your upcoming purchase! In addition to the EVSE (what you're calling the Mobile Charger Connect), the Taycan typically comes with a NEMA 14-50 pigtail and a NEMA 5-15 pigtail (typical USA 120V) to attach to the PMCC. If the dealer can't get the equipment, I think you can get it from Porsche or from aftermarket (www.suncoastparts.com).

Thanks! Unfortunately the dealer only gave me a NEMA 14-30 and the NEMA 5-15. He said the car was optioned with the 14-30 instead of 14-50. :/

Understood. Ya get what ya get.

NEMA 14-30 is typically used for 240V dryers in the USA. If used for EV charging, it has a maximum of 30 amps and ideally charges at 24 amps or 5.8 kW.

NEMA 14-50, which is more typical of an L2 (Level 2) charger, has a maximum of 50 amps (ideally charges at 40 amps / 9.6 kW) and charges your car roughly 60% faster than NEMA 14-30. Consider getting the NEMA 14-50 pigtail that plugs into your PMCC, and have a NEMA 14-50R (R stands for receptacle) installed in your garage.

Here's a new thread (link) that has an excellent table listing charging times. I hope this helps ...

Much appreciated on sending over the extra info. I've just ordered the 14-50 pigtail and am getting an electrician to install the 14-50 receptacle in my garage. Hopefully I'll be all set by next week.
