Has any one tested the new release of the eFlow app with a Taycan? This app was called BimmerFlow earlier and is a real nice app for BMW’s. I have tried it with an i4. Easy to use and CarPlay compatible. i am away from my car now so can not test it. Unfortunately not a free app...

Porsche have just released their volume deliveries for q2 and H1 2024. I noted that the overall deliveries in North America is down, but deliveries in Q2 were up? According to press release from PCNA. No break down between models overall as yet though...

Just found a “race” competition for EV’s over the length of Sweden, some 1600 km, 1000 miles. The rules are that you must obey and not exceed the speed limits. You can choose route strategy with charging and plan your route accordingly. The first to reach Haparanda is the winner. You can follow...

Is anybody surprised! And blaming a slow down of EV sales? Most issues are internal to Porsche. https://electrek.co/2024/07/05/porsche-slow-taycan-output-can-macan-ev-boost-sales/

I saw that you could now download all your trips in MyPorsche website. So I thought I would look into that reported data and see how much the car has reported in km’s driven, as well as consumption. Since I use my car mostly for long distance driving I wanted to try to calculate the total kWh...

I reflected a bit about all of us focussing so much on the GOM in the Taycan. Myself included. And the surprise that our range disappears with higher speeds, lower temperatures. Especially when navigating on a longer trip, trying to reach a certain charging stop! Of course there can be issues...

Here is an example of the useless planning function in MyPorsche app. It is at present wild winter weather outside with minus 6-8 C and very windy. I wanted to see how well the app would plan a trip to the swedish west coast to visit some family. Not very successful! As can be seen the car is...

After getting my car repatriated from Stockholm after the two module battery repair, we set out for another visit to Stockholm. And from there it will be onwards to Norway in a few weeks. I will not have a detailed trip report with photos this time. I was curoius to see how the car would perform...

Over the last couple of years there have been many discussions about charging our Taycans. Recently there was a discussion about Porsche saying not to charge too long at household sockets etc. It seemed mostly directed at US market and reflected upon the 120 volt charging. I guess 120 volt at 8...

As stated elsewhere I have had a main traction battery failure and got two modules replaced. Now that the car is back and I have looked back at some statistics from the car, I found some interesting but also concerning issues with consumption reporting. As we all know the consumption from a...

I happened to come across the following site that has a lot of data how charging infrastructure in Europe, has developed lately. There certainly has been a lot of rollout! https://alternative-fuels-observatory.ec.europa.eu/transport-mode/road/sweden/infrastructure Also a similar statistic...

This morning we were supposed start our trip back home to France from Stockholm. A nice trip planned with several nice hotels, restaurants booked as well. My car is one of the earliest Turbo registered in France in February 2020. I had experienced some issues with the range here lately and...

Tesla have a few months ago opened up a test site in Netherlands with a V4 Supercharger. The V4 charger is said to be able to charge at 1000 volt and over 600 ampere? So theoretically 600 kW. It was stated that this was designed for the Cybertruck and Semi? Whether or not they have released the...

I have a question about all the HPC stations displayed in the PCM? I needed to top up my SoC for a longer trip on roads where charging stations were a bit spare. I could see quite a few close by and choose one at Circle K, stated as 300 kW in the PCM. There were a few more around but varied in...

We are going on a trip to Reims from the South East of France now. I wanted to make use of the trip planner and send the route to my car. Since there are a large number of Ionity chargers on that route it would make sense to use only Ionity, because 1. They work very well and give the power...

Out of Spec just made a video about Taycan charging and efficiency. 15 minutes charging time from 10% and the driving at 80 mph, back down to 10%. Great result. And amazing charging speeds!

Hi, My car is in for a second service as per service schedule as 2022 clocked up a lot of kilometers. I got a nice RWD Sedan 3with PB+ as a loaner and could compare specs to my own 2020 Turbo. The loaner is a 2023 Model. There are some extras in the spec for the loaner with air suspension...

Seems like one of the nicer EVSE on the market, has some security issues. The company have just announced some massive layoffs as well. Not only because of the stop sales ban but also commercial reasons. The had planned to sell 900k units last year but only achieved 350k. There is a question...

We are looking at a trip to the south coast of the U.K., after Easter. We will arrive in the U.K. via the Chunnel at Folkestone and aim for the area around Poole, Bournemouth, for meeting friends and family. I tried the my Porsche app to look for chargers, but it only shows Ionity chargers by...

After reading about some new owners trouble with charging planning on a long road trip I have become very aware of the difficulties encountered when driving with an EV. And the extra planning efforts that you need to put in to make a trip enjoyable. Not much required, but still way too...
