Retrofitting 22kw charger UK

[Jaydub]

Has anyone managed to have a 22kw charger retrofitted to their taycan in the UK? My dealer tells me its not possible… However having read some of the threads on here I can see it is possible in the USA

I don't think it would be cost effective at all even if possible. Plus, what big advantages do you expect from 22kw charging? It's still gonna take too long on a road trip and for overnight charging, does it matter if it takes 8h or 4h?

In my order I didn't spec 22kw for that reason.

It was offered as a dealer fitted option a while back and was publicised by Porsche. Timing was around the last major software upgrade (uPdate) last year if not before.

There have been many issues with the 22kW AC charger which I think was effectively withdrawn for a while.

Retrofitting would cost a fortune and even it were available would be cost prohibitive.

It feels like Porsche has quietly withdrawn it as a dealer retrofit.

I have 3 phase (22kw) charging available at work and therefore worth it in my situation, providing it’s possible and not outrageously expensive! Although I am learning that anything other than extortion would be unusual for a Porsche retrofit

Porsche West London quoted around 6k last autumn for a retrofit.

Not UK, but this might be useful anyway for anyone else looking for the USA info you found

How many hours do you spend at the office? Why is the need for such charge?

If you charge between 20% to 80% at the office, you will need to charge approx. 50 kWh. On a three phase 11 kW built in car charger that would take about 5 hours!
