I have a suction rack that can handle three bikes, takes a little bit of getting used to and my longest journey to date was 45 minutes each way.
It works well, is quick to install/remove and easy to store, but I wouldn't leave the car unattended as it is simple to remove and you could find...
Hi,
I have had my Taycan for nearly 3 years and normally charge to 85%, if I do charge to 100% I always drive it immediately once it it fully charged, however I am wondering if its possible to leave it standing 100% for a couple of hours.
The logical is I have cheap overnight charging between...
I have the same issue, started on Thursday 6th, unfortunately the AA man sent from Porsche Assist couldn’t get it to start even after disconnecting the battery.
He then told me it would need a crane recovery as you cannot tow EV’s, the office told him to expect collection on the 12th.
Got a...
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone is aware of an API for the PMCC ?
I am thinking of a simple app to check the charger rather than having to go to the website and I also charge an electric Mini from it.
Also considering solar and wanted to avoid the Home Energy Manager and am thinking of...
I have used the fast chargers at OPC Preston and Chester for free, however I did get charged at OPC Bristol last weekend.
I was under the impression that UK owners had free charging for the first 12 months, but now not sure.
I use a Timer and a Profile to take advantage of the cheaper overnight tariff and it works every time for me.
I have noticed that as the nights are getting colder it only manages to reach 84%, but I understand this is caused by the drop in temperature and nothing to do with the software.
If...
I have the same issue, OPC checked it out during the recall update and concluded it was a faulty sensor, they don't hold the part in stock and expect it within 2 weeks.
I spent a week in St Ives last month, Ionity on the M5 worked a dream, there is also a 175KW charger at a shell garage on the A30 just outside Newquay.
Another nice feature is the "Plug & Charge" option which removes the need to use the card to activate charging, I can confirm it works at Porsche Centre chargers, but I haven't tried it at an Ionity station yet..
Preston’s chargers were installed back in March, still not working, visited Cheshire Porsche 2 weeks ago and they are in the same position.
Cheshire Porsche explained that the final sign off requires a visit from the engineering team in Germany, due to Covid this hasn’t been possible up to now.
Hi David,
Thanks for the confirmation, as I already have the PMCC I will push for increased discount on the Mini Electric rather than have another charger installed.
Carl.
Looking to order a Mini Electric and as this has a type 2 connector I plan to use the PMCC to charge both the Taycan and the Mini, the dealer has offered to have a home charger installed, but I would rather not have two units if I can use the PMCC to charge both ?
I am assuming the PMCC will...
Hi Mark,
You can use the Porsche Mobile Charger Plus at home, you will require a dedicated 32amp circuit with a blue 32amp commando socket, this will provide 7.4Kw charge, which is the fastest you can achieve in the UK on single phase power.
You can install a third party charger at home which...
I have a third party charger at home and Octopus Go, I have opted to have the car manage the schedule rather than the charger the main reason was I can manage it all from a single app, instead of having to use two, not a massive difference but every little helps.
Hi Bobby,
Out of interest did you use any other chargers on the M40 or M6 on your journey "up North" ?
I am located in the North West and travel down to London a few times a year, the Beaconsfield location in on the limit in terms of range hence my question.
I have had a similar issue with the my iphone 12 overheating while wireless charging and using CarPlay, I think its a combination of the phone working hard and the lack of airflow in the centre console.
While driving around town I don’t use the wireless charging and on a long trip I compromise...
My 4S was ordered from the Cambridge dealer due to it being a company car and that was the preferred location for the lease provider, the service was great.,
Preston is my closest dealer and where I had my test drive last year and they also applied the software update, great service each time...
