[MKM]

I can see movile chargers on ebay, fraction of Porsche original price, are they legit? Anything I should be aware off?

Alternatively, and recommendation for 3 pin charger if I'm not going with porsche one?

If I were you I’d get Tesla’s mobile charger and a TeslaTap (which is useful to have on hand for destination chargers anyway.)

Remember that many people got the EVSE free with the car when it was bundled up to end 2023 (or later). This may account for the pricing.

Check that the rating is 32A (not 16A) to get the best option. Some versions of the PMC are therefore limited to 3.6kW. PMC is not networkable but both PMC+ and PMCC are.

Select one which is supplied with both a 32A supply and 13A supply (3 pin) lead.

Perfectly good EVSEs (no need to source another for either home or mobile charging. Up to 7.4kW on a single phase supply with a 32A setup.

Charging on 3 pin (any EVSE) will be glacially slow adding only 0.1 miles per minute of charge.

Yep, I've been using mine for 3 years now. First with my 4S CT which it was supplied with and now with my J1.2 4S ST. Typically charges at 7.3kwh via a 32amp commando socket

Maybe the 3.6kwh version is for hybrids

It was originally, but if there is a 13A tail option then it will be good for anything at the end of the day.

Yep.

Hard to see the 13A 3 pin but if its there then you'll have all that you need.

There should also be a white envelope containing the passwords for the web interface. If you don't plan to hook this up to your home network then you won't need it. There isn't much you can do with the web interface - charging control is via the PCM and / or MyPorsche App.

Bargain!

I guess this one has more details, any idea if it is any good?

Sorry, but don't understand the differences, and you seem to be very well informed

Both will work fine and both have 32A Commando plus 13 amp leads.

Thanks so much.

What is the difference between 7.2V and 11V ones?

I assume you mean 7.2kw and 11kw?

The later needs a 3 phase power supply to deliver 11kw

I believe thw 11kw would be quicker, or it doesn't really make a difference?

Yes but you need a 3 phase supply at home
