Searching is not providing quick answer so posting here - apologies if a repeat!
Newbie in respect road trip DC charging - did my first DC charge yesterday in the Houston Heights and Plug and Charge (P&C) worked like a charm but have some questions re EA membership vs the Porsche-EA P&P program that comes with the car.
1) Does the Porsche-EA P&C program (renewed each of 3 years) ALWAYS take priority when you plug in to an EA DC charger?
I ask as there appear to be chargers on their web site/app that are labelled as only available to PASS and/or PASS+ EA Members, many of which are the higher end 350kW chargers.
This leads to:
2) Can I in fact as a Porsche P&C customer use any EA charger at any location regardless of being a PASS or PASS+ member?
In turn back to #1 above:
3) If I enroll as an EA PASS or PASS+ member, does that status in my app on arrival at a station override my Porsche-EA P&C contract ....... OR does being an EA Member (vs guest) open up more chargers to me (back to#2 above) that I can now use P&C on (assuming P&C gets priority)?
I obviously have yet to test these variables but was hoping to leap frog that learning curve with knowledge from experienced US roadies out there
I'm guessing that to ensure Porshce P&C contract priority I need to use the Porsche Charging app every time but as above, does this give access to all EA chargers all the time?
Cheers, C.
