Porsche Charger Connect - 32A single phase 240V? Alternative?

[smoothound]

Hi - first post so please be gentle .... sorry about the long background....

Taycan can take more than 7kw AC at 240v as standard. The Porsche Mobile Connect says its output is 9.6kw, but the only input cables as Porsche options are 400V 32A and 16A as three phase - or 16A only as 240V single phase (i.e. around 3kw only).

I could easily fabricate a 32A cable to fit the same 240V plug type as the single phase 16A one - and plug that into a standard single phase 32A supply. There is no single phase 32A option according to Porsche UK confuserator.

Questions:

1) If plugged (using a suitable cable) into a 32A single phase 240V supply would the Mobile Charger Connect then supply 7kw? or is the charger for some reason limited to only pull enough current to supply at 3kw? (like the 16A input). It would be disappointing if it is constrained to 3kw output on single phase especially at the price.

2) Failing that, has anyone any recommendations for a high-quality third party single phase 32A 240V 7+kw mobile charger? There are a few out there - but most look a bit cheap and cheerful (half the cost of the Porker one)

Why Mobile? My kids all live within max range (just) of the Taycan - and I would fit them each up with a dedicated 32A Socket - and use my mobile charger at their houses - would be like my own private charging network

cheers

Hi

You get a 240V 32A plug and cable as standard - check out the standard features the configurator.

I got the above with mine.

The other plugs/ cables you mention are options in stead of the standard 240v 32A

Thanks T4 - I had not picked that up (Doh) -

It's a bit weird - why would you want to buy an 'industrial' plugged 16A cable as an option - when the supplied 32A will do both 3kw from a 16A outlet - or 7kw from a 32A?



many thanks
