Unknown warning light question

[Tachyon]

Anyone know what this warning light means, see attached photo

Just noticed it after my wife came home and told me the head lights in my Tacan were on, (2020 4S awd). I managed to get the lights to turn off and then noticed the this warning light on. It goes off when I detach the charging cable. I tried both the left and right side charging ports and the light comes on for both. Never seen this before. I couldn't find info for this light in the manual or in online search. Help would be most appreciated.

Means you are plugged in and or charging

Thanks! I am surprised that I never noticed it. I would have thought that it should be green if it is a normal thing. Red should be reserved for a warning, manual states the display area is for warning lights.

To some extend it's a kind of a warning, warning you to unplug before taking off.

Porsche still tries to stick to some sanity on that front. In this case it is a warning that you cannot drive away. Audi on the other hand has gone off the deep end, they put red indicators on the instrument cluster because someone on their latest generation engineering team thought red looks cool, so why not use a red icon on the dash for decoration. Maybe it was a team vote, a result of whatever the latest “everybody’s ideas must be included” consensus management ideology.

You had the car turned on and the system assumes you want to drive. The warning light comes on to advise you your still plugged in.
