On AC charging there is hardly any cooling or warming necessary. All the electronics to do the charging do consume power obviously (Battery Management, On-Board-Charger, etc.). This can be up to 700W.

The car will always immediately start charging und won't stop until it reaches that limit. "Minimum" is meant in the sense of: "I always want to get this SoC as quickly as possible". So this seems to be want you want. Preconditioning the cabin (!!) can either be set with a timer or manually...

Guys, the Plug & Charge settings in the Taycan DOES mean it can authenticate the car with a PMCC or PWCC if that device is protected with a PIN! For that to work, enable the setting in the Taycan, plug in the car, and the device will detect the EV and ask for it to be added. If the PMCC/PWCC is...

The Macan EV will have such an AC power socket. Such details about the Taycan Facelift have not emerged yet, sadly.

PPE will be used for the electric 718, and an Audi A6. It is NOT a high ground clearance vehicle platform! Taycan stays on J1 and might shift to the successor of PPE with Gen2.

Autocharge is a completely different beast and way to implement something like Plug & Charge. The way this works is: each OBC in the EV has a so called MAC address, which is communicated to the charging station. This MAC address is then registered by the network operator and associated with the...

The problem was not that the charger software was not updatable, it was and is. Even the MY20 11kW OBCs got updates. Requisite for Plug & Charge is ISO15118-2 communication capabilites, which any DC charger has, and additional an protocol extension for Plug & Charge, which not all OBCs have...

Just as an update: the same test works on public charging when taking an image for the start and end SoC and of the charge amount shown by the charger or in the charging receipt.

The next time you charge at home, maybe take a picture of the SoC shown in the car at start, then once you reached 80% and also the amount of energy you charged. The later may be provided by the charger you are using. I guess you will only charge half of the expected energy amount. With that...

1) Yes it does. AutoCharge only has issues with cars that change the MAC address of the OBC, the Taycan does not do that as of now. 2) Plug & Charge means that a charging contract is stored in the car, so the car can present it to the charging station using a certificate instead of you having...

@daveo4EV did you realize this is the European version which is great for the Taycan? You might want to check this before jumping on every thread about this device.

@RSouthern Yes it is.

The web interfaces uses a REST api to fetch the data and also set new charging limits. A while back I wrote this code https://github.com/evcc-io/evcc/blob/master/charger/mcc.go which you could use as a basis.

You can not reboot the device remotely. Why do you think a reboot would trigger the Kangoo to start charging then? Did you test this?

@HighandDry I fully agree. Only wanted to mention your current options :)

You can use the open source software https://evcc.io or the Porsche HEMS. Loxone has EEBUS support, but they support EVSE units, so that is not possible as of now.

Login as a tech use, go to connections and then PLC connection to vehicle. Disable the setting. Changes may require a restart of the device to take effect.

I am in Europe: Daily charging an Volkswagen ID.3 with a PMCC, no issues. Tested lots of vehicles of different brands and all work. For some the PLC connection from the PMCC to the EV has to be disabled, as these EVs have faulty ISO15118 implementations on their end. Examples for EVs with the...

In theory it should. It is always instead of, as long as certificates are only handled in the EV with the current ISO15118-2 standard. The upcoming version ISO15118-20 allows to store up to 5 certificates in the OBC and then the user could either choose or it could be auto selected by best price...
