    Please Welcome Stealth

    I have manual charging doors. But no I had no issues with left hand door opening out re-latching. Also I could open the right side if I tried within 1 second of unlocking the car. But the port has a red light and would not charge.

    As of today, I was able to activate a charge at one of these upgraded stations in Paso Robles using the Porsche app. It appears that the problems have been solved.

    Fixed 2/25 - Unable to activate newly updated Electrify America stations with My Porsche App

    FYI for those in California, both Pismo Beach and Camarillo EA stations are back on-line as of today with the new hardware with all stations except the CHAdeMO plug with 350kW capacity. Great improvement for us Taycan owners. Especially when the My Porsche app works to activate them 😉

    Fixed 2/25 - Unable to activate newly updated Electrify America stations with My Porsche App

    That’s correct I do not have plug and charge for my car and less I spent about $7600 for the upgrade to the 22 kW onboard charger. Note, I added two more locations along interstate 5 as I had to make a sudden road trip to Los Angeles this evening. The good thing is that Electrify America seems...

    Fixed 2/25 - Unable to activate newly updated Electrify America stations with My Porsche App

    I have been seeing consistent problems with trying to activate newly upgraded Electrify America stations with the My Porsche. App gives errors like "Charging station not reachable." I end up having to call Electrify America and have them remote start it which is always a 15-20min call. Generally...

    Fast Charging Problems: “Electrical system error Service necessary” and “Unable to start charging”

    Yes @Tooney I am also somewhat confused about what this high-voltage booster is as it sounds like it’s simply the 400 V to 800 V DC converter to deal with low-voltage chargers, whereas all of my problems have happened on high voltage chargers. But admittedly, all charging would end up going...

    Fast Charging Problems: “Electrical system error Service necessary” and “Unable to start charging”

    I think they have isolated and corrected the problem with my latest service. Just got the car back on January 27th, took it for a 400 mile trip on Friday/Saturday with three fast charges and no issues. Did two more fast charges and then I am on a second longer trip with two fast charges. I have...

    Fast Charging Problems: “Electrical system error Service necessary” and “Unable to start charging”

    Went in the second time for the charging problem on Jan 9th, I have heard they have ordered a new charge controller. Also a new camera controller as I had issues with the parking surround cameras sometimes not starting up recently. 10 days without my baby😢. But they did give me a nice Macan it’s...

    Fast Charging Problems: “Electrical system error Service necessary” and “Unable to start charging”

    Just an FYI, when the car can move but will not charge. I have seen consistently that if I leave the car locked for only 10 minutes the charging problem clears. The only time I needed to leave it for 30 minutes was when the car cannot move, and will only go into neutral.

    Fast Charging Problems: “Electrical system error Service necessary” and “Unable to start charging”

    I seem to be able to re-create this problem on virtually all types of their chargers, I have not done a good job of getting photos of the name plates yet, but I do know exactly which charger locations and units have been giving me problems as I have recorded every session since purchasing the...

    Fast Charging Problems: “Electrical system error Service necessary” and “Unable to start charging”

    I’m very sorry for the late reply, I have not been keeping up with the forum lately. Here is a photo showing the two connections they used. They were both unpopulated, the bottom one is the continuous power as I recall. As I stated in my most recent post, I have the camera disconnected...

    Fast Charging Problems: “Electrical system error Service necessary” and “Unable to start charging”

    Well, just to keep folks updated, I am still in fast charging purgatory. I have fully disconnected my dash cam to avoid any possible interactions, and still I am having failures about every other fast charging session. Failure can occur in the first second or the first two minutes or five...

    Fast Charging Problems: “Electrical system error Service necessary” and “Unable to start charging”

    I did have one successful fast charge after this. My technique was to not let the vehicle precondition and then the charging was slow, but did not fault averaged about 90 kW. I am now planning for a potential trip to Los Angeles again, so I will have many opportunities to refine my charging...

    Fast Charging Problems: “Electrical system error Service necessary” and “Unable to start charging”

    This message is on the charger. I have never gotten a diagnostic message within vehicle except “Electrical system error Service necessary”.

    Fast Charging Problems: “Electrical system error Service necessary” and “Unable to start charging”

    Well, sadly over optimistic, picked up car 6pm, battery very cold 50F from sitting outside. Routed to a 150kW fast charger near my home 30min away. Battery got to near 80F, very impressive. Charging session lasted 10sec before error and car left in state where I could not start a new session...

    Fast Charging Problems: “Electrical system error Service necessary” and “Unable to start charging”

    Just got word from Porsche Service, they had issues connecting to the control units. System was reporting that the ignition was not on. They investigated and found that I had (just recently) routed my Dashcam into fusebox. I used unused sockets so I thought I was fine; however, they said they...
