What charger?

What charger?

PMCC I suspect as PMC+ doesn't have a display.

On the charger with display, I read Taycan if I connect my car and nothing/charging op. If I connect another EV so it recognises different cars.
When generating the pdf to keep track of the kw, often the Taycan is listed as another EV so if I need to calculate kw recharged each car, it won’t be accurate.

is that a normal bug between the others?!

I'm assuming you have the Porsche Mobile Charger Connect (PMCC) and not Porsche Mobile Charger Plus (PMC+) as the latter has no display?

If so, connect to the PMCC directly (not via tge App) and use the web interface specific to it and export all data to CSV and then analyse in Excel.

No bug

to be honest, I don't really know the names! Porsche website calls it mobile charger connect..

You got the correct name, the letters from the name above form an acronym - PMCC. There is also a Porsche Mobile Charger Plus (PMC+), which is the standard EVSE shipped with the Taycan.

There also is a wide selection of non-Porsche EVSE's as well, which will work just fine with the Taycan. I was curious which EVSE you were using.

PMCC I suspect as PMC+ doesn't have a display.

But there are non-Porsche EVSE's with screens.

to be honest, I don't really know the names! Porsche website calls it mobile charger connect..it's the more expensive 22kw with display, red and blue plug and I got even the dock.
anyway, I already exported the file, basically even yesterday I connected the car the first time and was recognised as Taycan and I can find it on the csv/pdf... used the car and when I started charging again the display recognised as Taycan but on the csv/pdf is not..

Yep, PMCC.

The last export I took had both PCID (similar in format to your VIN but not a VIN per se) and columns ''Brand' and 'Model'. Mine says 'Porsche' and 'Taycan' but not always populated per entry. Perhaps dump the entire data set and you might get some example where these values are populated. I have security enabled (PIN) but auto authorisation for my specific car - perhaps this will help also.

Even in your case, at the end of the list, you should have 2 totals, 1 for the rows with your car and 1 without it.
if you have only the Porsche it’s not a problem with the total, but if you recharge another EV, that will be recognised with an empty row and when the Porsche is not recognised, it’ll be an empty row as well!

I only have 1 EV but remember there will be another PCID & Model listed for another vehicle which may not appear each and every time but you only need it once and then match that to the periods you are charging that particular vehicle.

Not perfect but manageable.

You could play around with Guest PINs etc which might help to differentiate each vehicle if the PCID / Model details aren't reliably recorded each session.

I tried with security pin for me and guest pin for the other EV...nothing.
the charger doesn't fully recognise the car everytime..it's not a big deal but bugs everywhere!
I tried without success to pair the other car on the authorisation list or groups but nothing happens!

Yeah I don't quite understand why it doesn't write the details per vehicle per session. That said I've not looked at my logs in 18+ months and there may well have been some bug fixes as part of the 2 software patches that were issued (one last year). I've had my PMCC since Nov'20 and has been a great EVSE (American's hate it!) since day 1.

If I get a chance I'll log on to the EVSE (it's been a while) to see if there is better data or anything obvious that might help.

....I looked just now and every single session has the correct PCID, Brand and Model so clearly something has changed (for me).

I've had 2 Taycan's and my current (new from Nov'23) shows a different PCID and 100% rate of recording all details. Either the software patches have helped and / or MY23 Taycan's did a better job of data exchange.
