Dumped Porsche Mobile Charger Plus for Wallbox Pulsar Plus

[Jhenson29]

I do wish the NEMA cable was a bit shorter; I really had to mount the box high to accommodate it.

Can’t you rotate the receptacle 180 and mount the EVSE next to it with a little loop?

I tried various timer config, and had the charging error too.
Finally I settled on just using the Timer set to 6:30AM, 85% target charge

I often get multiple notifications from the Pulsar saying the charging ended, just after plugging in and randomly later.
And Porsche Connect notifications, the target charge cannot be reached.
But each morning the car is at 85%

One thing that may interest you if you only have 3x220V without neutral(most of Belgium...).
You need to wire the Pulsar as single phase, and not 3x220v as documented as the Taycan refuses it.
Only 7.2Kw but enough for me in general.
While waiting for the street to hopefully move to 3x380V+N.

I have 3x380. I can charge at 22 kw. However with our new electricity ratification it would be best to charge as slow as possible. We will be billed on our peaks. I have set it to 10A, which gives me around 7kw and that’s enough for me.

I got those false messeges too and I turned messegas in the wall box app off.

The Porsche app doesn’t send me a message when at 85% only on the rare occasion I charge to 100%. It also sends a message to my Apple Watch when the connection is made with a fast charge. That is useful with plug and charge at Ionity chargers.

Can you share exactly how you set up your 85% profile?

I have a Wallbox Pulsar Pro as well installed with a program from 9pm -6am but I find when i have that program on it conflicts with the programmed timer and charging profiles set in my car.

Here's what the profile looks like on porsche.com

Nice will give that a go next time I charge my car at home

Pleased to report I tried out my timed program on the Wallbox + 85% charging profile on the car as instructed by others here and the combo worked perfectly. I'm now slightly less pissed off about the convoluted charge programming in the car.

Yup. Bought a Charge Point Flex. Set it for 12am to 6am (cheapest rates). Set up a profile in the car for 85% minimum. When plugged in it works flawlessly charging at 40 ampe, around 8.7kw actual. I even got a $500 rebate from my local utility for buying the Flex. Stress less charging!
