Type 2 Cable

[Gra13]

I have just received my Taycan 4S ST but it did not come with a Type 2 cable. Porsche said it was not part of the spec, although I can see it is on the new standard spec listing. My car was ordered Feb 22. Can anyone shed some light?

Public charging cable is definitely part of the base spec

It wasn't on mine. £210 option.

MY22 delivered in March 22.

Nasty! And my memory serves me that maybe I had it specified in my original config. OP: is yours an MY22 or 23?

Never been taken out of the plastic bag it came in, obviously. Basically as much use as the 2 other options on that screenshot!

I have an MY21 4S and had to order the L2 cable separately however since then it has become standard. My new GTS ST has the L2 cable as standard.

It could be due to timing and you just missed out. Did you keep your original spec / Porsche Code / hard copy of full specifications from when you placed the order which would list the standard equipment?

It may be that it became standard for MY23 (from July 22 spec, Sep / Oct'22 delivery).

No big deal - easy to source on the web!

Not from launch but likely MY23 (Jul'22) onwards.

I used mine yesterday for the first time! Harry Potter Studio Tour and I trickle (dribble more like!), charged it there because why not. The home charger EVSE I've never taken out of the bag!

Not from launch but likely MY23 (Jul'22) onwards.

I checked through my emails and yes, my SA confirmed it was standard on MY23

Thanks for the feedback, I have learnt that the cable has been added to the my23 spec. My car although delivered in Jan was still a 22 spec car.

I'd asked about this with my original RWD 21 plate. The OPC said they 'wouldn't let me drive away without one' and I didn't pay. Same for most recent 4s 22 plate.
