    Will Electric 718 EV Have NACS and/or CCS Connector(s)?

    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.

    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...

    Porsche 718 Boxster convertible EV spotted charging at 170kw rate

    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.

    this makes me sad - but glad you are ok…what are your plans - another Taycan?

    Porsche 718 Boxster convertible EV spotted charging at 170kw rate

    2 seater - low CG - plenty of instant torque/power - convertible - and at least a 170 kW charge rate - take my money is an understatement.

    Porsche 718 Boxster convertible EV spotted charging at 170kw rate

    if it's an EA charger and it's actually working - it's a fake - they don't work.

    Porsche 718 Boxster convertible EV spotted charging at 170kw rate

    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...

    [US] - Over the Top - the well equipped EV home garage…for those that wish to "over do it"…

    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...

    Porsche 718 / 983 Boxster EV Electric - spotted testing

    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…

    correct - I'm thinking boxster/cayman format…2 seater roadster convertable and hardtop - it will be glorious.

    Porsche 718 / 983 Boxster EV Electric - spotted testing

    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...
