CCS no question - NACS would be Macan .2 at the earliest - following by the .2 718 - all the "charging" decisions are locked/loaded for any pseudo products announced and in "mule" testing - both Macan/718 are pretty well locked/loaded at this point.

buy 60 amp version if you have standard taycan
buy 80 amp version if you have the optional 19.2 kw on board charger upgrade (unlikely)
use it where ever tesla chargers are found
super chargers are being updated to support...
you can use normal tesla chargers not superchargers
no app required - just permission of the business owner
it’s just an EVSE like your home unit so no network or activation or billing
rate will vary from 4kw to 19.2kw depending on the install at the business hosting the charger
you are...
summary:
mobile charger - meh - not so much these days in north America - but carry it if you want the safety net.
these days it's like a spare tire, and used about as frequently
TeslaTap - YES - have one of these with you in the car!!!
this is one of the reasons you don't need to carry a...
thanks for the reply - 911 Targa is worthy P-car - enjoy
I'm comtemplating my next EV with 2020 Taycan Turbo out of warranty in July 2024…
I'd love any thoughts you have on the F150 EV once you have it.
a lot of my friends tell me that Porsche F's you up the A** with their prices for their products…
it's nice to see Porsche formalizing that sentiment with their charging port location…
I'd only carry any mobile charger with me these days if I'm leaving my "home area" and research indicates I'm going someplace with no public charging infrastructure (national park for example) - having a mobile charger in the frunk of your EV is so 2015 (this is my evolving position as we all...
It's interesting to note - Porsche's Sept. 2022 NTSB article no longer recommends using 120V charging - only for "emergency" use and for no more than 12 hours.
I believe this to be good advice, and I think it has more to do with the average quality of pre-existing 120V circuits in 99.9% of...
Porsche has updated recommendation - interesting - attached to post #1 - analysis here for those that are interested - https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/charging-related-porsche-tsb-article-interesting.13902/#post-208977
believe what you want to believe - but I am honestly sad tonight about the state of Porsche EVSE - EV charging is already complex and people get confused - this is simply additional complexity for future EV owners and entirely avoidable…the impact of this is erosive and confusing to those that...
post #1 updated with a disclaimer - Porsche can not be my (or any sane person's) recommendation for L2 North American charging equipment - please seek one of many many excellent alternatives for your home EV charging needs and just ignore the Porsche offerings in North America.
their cars are...
we now have confirmed reports that the Porsche Wall Charger Connect lacks greatness and suffers from similar incompatibility problems as the PMC+/PMCC in terms of charging non-Porsche EV's
I take no pleasure in this - and it is disappointing - I had high hopes for the PWCC - but this makes it a...
low end RWD Taycan is 402 HP
next step up is 469 HP w/4S
so 500 hp/400 ft/lbs of torque is kinda "easy" with EV motors - and a low CG - yeah I could see a 350 HP Boxster but the GTS version could be 500 HP or more - easy…
I'm hoping they focus on preformance at the expense of range - smaller lighter battery - little less range, but make up a bit in charging speed and less weight…solid 200 miles of range with some very very fast charging for a sports car could be a winning combination.
I think we've already...
