Are you guys seeing instavolt on the porsche charging map? I don't seem to be able to on the app or in the car. Was planning a trip to one but wanted the battery pre-heated.

Side question - is there away to filter out low speed chargers in the car navigation system? I found it in the phone app, but couldn't see anything in the car menus. Haven't been back into the car to see if it has picked up the changes i made in the app yet - not sure if that is communicated to the car.

Can’t see Instavolt on the MyPorsche app. Need to look on the car. Can see Fastned fine.

So after reading this thread, I ran to check my current taycan configuration in my order and I can't find any 150kw option in the configurator. I must have checked 3x by now. Only option that appears related to charging is the AC 22Kw.

Am I going crazy?

The Porsche 150kW on-board DC-DC converter (booster) option is a red herring on this Instavolt scenario. It makes no odds.

Yes but where is that 150kw dc option everyone is talking about? I don't have it available in my configurator (Portugal / Europe)

It's listed under "E-Performance". Might not be available as an option in your market. Perhaps it's standard fitment there?

UK configurator looks like this...

Check the standard specification on the configurator. Here in France it is standard equipment.

Perhaps the same in your country, I would think!

Should be everywhere. Along with folding mirrors and a few other things.

A-HA!

You nailed it! It's standard in Iberia too (Portugal + Spain)

Now I noticed I can chose one of 3 cables too... Blue plug (230v/16A), Red plug (400V/16A) and red plug (400v/32A). What's the most common in Europe? Don't have 22kw so 400/32 is useless for me.

OK as I suspected it may be standard fit on the continent.

Do you know what that auxiliary heating system option is all about?

Can you click on the “i” to give more detail. I’m intrigued. Thanks.

You can filter in PCM (since uPdate) in the search area (EVSE icon)- charging locations - Fast Charging Stations.

Instavolt not searchable within app.

I would choose the 400v 22kW for compatibility in all situations.

Is this not the heat pump option standard in UK?
