Here is some data from my charging session in my garage today.
My set up is the PMCC linked with a Porsche Home Energy Manager since we have preferential rates during certain hours of the day and the night. I have a three phase supply with max 32 amp per phase, which the car can obviously not utilise. My plug is a 32 amp CEE plug for three phase and the cable to the car is the short one of 2.5 meters rated at 400 volt, 20 amp ( I guess per phase).
@ron_b I have included some data for the charging rate from the charger as well as what the car displays.
My set up in the car was today to charge to a minimum of 60% in the morning with optimised charging selected in the profile. Normally I only have it set to 25% but just to make sure everything would work out today since I needed the car, I set it to 60%. The the car was then set to be charged to 85% at 17.00 when I want to go out with the car. 17.00 also is the time that the low rate electricity during daytime ends.
I plugged the car in at 55% charge this morning at 12.10. It started charging immediately and then stopped at 60% with“Paused “ on The display. It has now started charging again and is charging at 11.0 kW.
The ambient temperature is about 28 degrees Celsius ( 82 degrees F). In my car some fan or pump starts and stops ever so often and you hear it. Guess for some cooling?
The car itself reports charging at close to 10 kW! In the app 9.9 kW but in the car 9.97 kW so about a 10% loss in charging rate. The car has started and stopped charging once as can be seen in the graph, I guess to adjust to being charged to the set target on time.
some temperatures that I recorded.
Ambient 28 degrees Celsius.
Inlet Cable rated at 32 amp three phase 30.5 degrees Celsius.
Charging cable to car rated at 20 amp 400 volt 35 degrees Celsius.
Connecter at car about 33 degrees.
PMCC housing on sides and front just under 40 degrees Celsius.
So for me the PMCC does what it says on the Tin. It works really nice with the Home Energy Manager so far and delivers the result that I want. It also rorts the cost for each charge this way.
Setting up everything was not as simple as it could be, but once you tried to understand what Porsche means with their instructions it is fine.
Just my Euro 0.02 .
