Show your home charging setup for your Taycan

As far as I am aware you will get all cables and connectors with the standard PMC charging unit (including a 13A plug connector for emergency use) so you should not need anything else.

I have the PMCC and didn't get an additional connection cable to connect it to the electricity supply.

Andersen's installed the 32A supply and hooked everything up with the cables that came with PMCC (I keep the 13A plug cable in the boot).

Ask your dealer to confirm and the PMC should come with everything you need.

If not ready done so download the PMC manual.

Thanks. Your link for the manual doesn't work?

So am I right in saying the black end will plug directly into the Porsche Mobile Charger Plus cable?

The red end goes into any standard red commando plug.

And then this way you can get a rate of up to 11KW?

Therefore I would not need to purchase any charger like a Zappi etc?

(Sorry if stupid question!)

Yes exactly right. The black end will directly plug into the mobile charger connect . You will get either the full 11kw or 22kw depending on the option u picked in ur car spec. If u opted for the additional 1000 Uk plus option the 22kw on board ac you will get a whopping 22kw which will charge ur car from zero to 100 in abt 4.5hours

if you did not opt for that then you’ll get 11kw and u will charge your car fully in any 8-8.5 hours

this being that u have the performance battery plus option 93kwh battery

BE 7.2 kW with 2 phases
BG 11 kW with 3 phases
BJ 22 kW with 3 phases.

Mine is:
BK 22 kW with 3 phases.

I didn't embed a link. Google "Porsche Mobile Charger Plus" and download the pdf.

Guys are you sure the PMC is rated to 22kW - manual says not. PMCC is in UK and helps to explain the increased cost.? A moot point given the dependencies.

May be that there are a few different market variants. Here is a photo of my manual and I have assumed it would be the same for all countries that the manual covers? Guess SE Asia and China may not be included?

Which charger do you have?

 

[Scandinavian]

I have the PMCC BJ ie 22 kW capacity. But my car can only take 11 kW, but my friends Zoe charged quite fast at 22 kW!

Three Phase 400 volt supply with 63 amp into garage.

Right that's what I thought. The PMC is rated at 9.6kW only and so the advice give earlier by @Freakzilla9 was misleading.

I have the PMCC unit too and is the same rating as yours except I don't have the luxury of 3 phase supply (or the onboard 22kW AC charger) to take full advantage. Hey ho, at least it was free!

Again I think this is market dependant? Here in France you can have two variants of the PMC, one for 3.6 kW and kW. I guess this is for one phase and three phase rating.

It will.be and whatever unit you have it will always downgrade to the supply provided.

Thanks for helping me out here. I have gone for the normal battery and not the performance battery plus. Most days I won't do more than 10 miles, most is just work and back. If we ever need to go out anywhere on the weekend it will not be more than 60 miles. So really charging/topping it up at work will work 99% of the time.

I am going to go for 150kW DC option (£294) as @W1NGE suggested. I think if we go out further and I need to charge hanging around 8 hours would not want me to take the car.

Looking at the chargers, I think I will install a 3 phase tethered Zappi V2 and then claim the grant as well as the VAT back. Just seems too many cables with the red commando connection route.

Also as I will be leasing the car I would most likely need to return all the equipment back, such as the charging dock etc which will make the wall it was mounted look a mess.

Thanks again for all your help.

For so little mileage I don't understand why you would go to the expense of a 3 phase supply if that's what you mean?

Do you need 22kW of charging and are you specifying the 22kW onboard AC charger as an option on the car?

A single phase with a standard charger (PMC or other if you must) will address your particular needs quite effectively. Overnight charging will comfortably top up what you've used in a day with hours to spare.

Choice of charger is up to you but again I don't see the logic of having two in your scenario - feels unnecessary. The cabling requirements will be the same in all cases - Zappi, Porsche, whomever.

Don't forget that you will always have 50kW and 270kW DC capability with the car as standard. The 150kW option simply extends these options to take advantage of 150kW 400V chargers that may be out there e.g. BP Chargemaster.

The reason I was going to go for the 3 phase route is because the option is there at the office/warehouse. The cost of the Zappi charger is only about £120 difference between 7kw single phase and 22kw 3 phase (this would allow me to charge at upto 11kw).

I am not going for the 22KW onboard option.

Maybe I need a rethink and stick with what I will have for free. Although I will have to get the charging dock at £294.

I would also like to keep the cable in the car just in case I ever need it at home, having it on the dock at all times just seems easier.

Ah, I did not realise that. So it is possible to charge the car using 50KW/150KW rapid public chargers with the standard equipment?
