the external charging hardware (EVSE) is better the more dumb it is - there are very few adjustments on the EVSE - it’s mostly a setup it once affair - all other adjustments after installation are made via the app (Porsche Connect) or in the car on it’s main computer screen.
long time viewers will know I normally recommend clippercreek EVSE’s rather than Porsche - but I thought I’d change it up and bring in a new player (ChargePoint) simply to show there are alternatives to the Porsche option and more than one (there are at least 10 other vendors).
ClipperCreek is a pure stupid dumb bullet-proof functional EVSE - it has no screen, no app, and you just wire it up (plug or hardwired) and it simple “works”
Porsche’s EVSE @ $1120 is simply the most expensive EVSE in North America - and unlikely other Porsche products it’s far from the best - both ClipperCreek and ChargePoint are “expensive” EVSE’s (1/2 the cost of Porsche option) - there are even cheaper alteratives - basically you can throw at rock at an EVSE and find something cheaper and better than the Porsche charger.
