You forgot one more picturethe socket manufactures it's own thermal stress in defiance of the laws of thermodynamics/conservation-of-energy - it's not that Porsche's NEMA male-plug is getting too hot due to trying to shove 9.6 kW of power into a 6 kW wire and then subsequently transferring the massive amounts of heat due to electrical resistance - the plug itself is generating the heat - and in fact might be a power source more powerful than home solar panels…
the type of damage caused in this thread…
https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/porsche-mobile-charger-recall.14275/#post-214742
totally 100% th plugs fault - it's self destructing because it can't handle the power/performance of the Taycan - this is not the result of accumulated thermal stress of a poorly designed power supply cable that routinely achieves operating temperatures of 140F (or more) in normal use and overtime causes cheaper Leviton plug sockets to eventual fail when their cheaper plastics subjected to repeated thermal stress causes a structural failure…induced by unnecessary thermal stress.
the plug below self destructed and lost it's will to live because it couldn't handle the awesome power of the Taycan!!!
totally 100% not Porsche's fault that their cable routine achieves operating temperatures of 140F+ in normal operation…
Finally! Somebody found me out! As I recall, I posted many photos of the temps generated using the PMCC and even supplied them to PCNA. They were non-plussed. If one is interested, go dig up the PET for the 918 Spyder. I think you might find some interesting similarities in parts between the 918 and the Taycan.Apparently the photos showing temperature readings of the outlet, plug, and cables that you and others posted in here a couple years ago were EVSE "disinfo"......
The temperature readings, photos, and posts about PMCC in the forum provided me the info I needed in summer/fall 2021 to avoid including it before my order locked.Finally! Somebody found me out!

I cannot help but notice that according to this reply the warranty only applies if you install through a Porsche authorized installer, so essentially no warranty if you have your own electrician or install it yourself. Yet another reason not to buy Porsche EVSE - not only expensive to buy, but also expensive to install if you want warranty.Per PCNA customer service, the warranty for Porsche brand EVSEs is two years.

Good catch. I edited my post above to highlight that point.I cannot help but notice that according to this reply the warranty only applies if you install through a Porsche authorized installer, so essentially no warranty if you have your own electrician or install it yourself.
