if you want to upgrade to a 48 amp EVSE $299 is about as good as you're going to find and this EVSE is well regarded - consider it!
A Bold new approach to fast charging and alternative to the "Herd" mentality for fast charging!!

Alameda, CA Target EA charging location…Oct. 19th, 2023 - 10 am local time - attending BMW driving event @ Alameda…
arrived on site - 7 stations - 5 occupied, 1 "unavaiable" - one stall "open" - 350 kW (balanced)
the one stall that was open had a functional screen - pulled in - plugged in - no...
other than outright failures (due to warranty issues - but still fractional) some data shows that batteries are _NOT_ the issue in overall long term EV ownership…

Team,
PCA is hosting a Track day @ beautiful Weathertech Laguna Seca raceway - Sept. 15, 16 & 17 - Paddock will be open to visitors - no entrance fee - and there will be lots and lots of other Porsche's and race cars to view and a strong showing of Taycan owners I'm sure would garner interest...

sooo much to discuss from this article…there were _ONLY_ 50 kW fast charging stations in 2018???? What? Ignoring the 1000's of superchargers available even then…
if this is EA's focus we're doomed.
wow- there are 12 superchargers in the process of being deployed at Thunderhill - now I simply _MUST_ have an adapter - that means there is fast charging for track days w/EV for Laguna Seca, Thunderhill, and Buttonwillow!!
should be open in a matter of weeks!!!
I’m a long time EV owners (since 2011) - former Tesla victim/customer - avid EV road warrior and deeply experienced EV road trip participant…I’m writing this up from some perspectives from a current (ongoing trip) from the SF Bay area to Friday Harbor, WA and back - currently at Burlington but...

I'm under the impression in North America you still have to wait to get a Taycan and sales are good…
but apparently they are not so much for Lucid (which is a car I simply don't understand or desire)
they are having a sale - 1% financing if you'll purchase an inventory model…...
Place your bet's folks - who's the First Euro brand to announce they will support NACS with native ports and adapters?
win prizes and vacations for being correct in your votes

Team,
OMG - wanna play spot the error's with PCNA's updated standard equipment eMobilty section? On the one hand kudo's for finally admitting Taycan comes standard with an 11 kW onboard charger (60 amp breaker, 48 amp charge rate in North America)
but they now list the PMC+/PMCC as an 11 kW...
Dear PCNA,
I am writing to you as a loyal and happy Porsche customer. I love my 2020 Taycan Turbo and it excels at all things except in one area. The North American CCS charging network is simply unacceptable in terms of quality, reliability, and customer experience. Fortunately for both of...
https://electrek.co/2023/06/08/gm-announces-adopt-tesla-nacs-connector/
June 22 Update: evidence is mounting that this is purely a physical design change and we are likely to continue using CCS protocols via the improved NACS connector/cables. non-Tesla's will remain CCS based EV's but with a...
note the standard equipment screen shot from this morning!!! It's only taken them 3 years!!!
Until recently (I don't know when Porsche updated it) they incorrectly listed the North American Taycan as having a 9.6 kW on board charger - this in my opinion was always incorrect and showed...
