    Solar, Heat Pumps, Home Battery Storage - How far have you or would you go?

    Ok, they say a picture tells a thousand words… This was my electric use on Saturday. My annual electricity usage is around 30,000 kWH per year - around £10,000 at current UK energy prices. Ridiculous, I know! In addition, we have gas central heating / water, which also does cooking and heats a...

    Rocketing Insurance for Electric Cars

    Has anyone seen their insurance renewal costs rocket? I renewed in August and whilst it did go up, nothing like these people have seen. The quotes were £5,000 or more’: electric vehicle owners face soaring insurance costs

    Has anyone noticed connectivity issues with Porsche Connect App in the UK

    I’m having connectivity issues too with the app and via the web. I first noticed it as I was trying to switch to Octopus Intelligent EV tariff and it constantly fails when Octopus tried to connect to Porsche. The Octopus app says the issue is with the Porsche servers.

    Yes, it’s still there if you access Porsche Connect via a browser.

    Is my battery performance battery plus or not?

    246 at 100% with PB+, in the UK. That’s about as good as it gets for me. This is with 21” Missions mind you, so reduces the range somewhat.

    Part number for 16A Supply Cable (Mobile Charger)

    Does anyone have a part number for the 16A (3 Phase) power supply cable which connects to the Porsche Mobile Charger Plus? My car was supplied with the UK 3-pin and also IEC 32A commando supply cable, but I need a 3 Phase, 16 Amp cable now to attach to the charger.

    Cracked Windscreen

    On the Autoglass website it will check to see if they are on your insurer’s approved list and will (in theory) manage the process for you. I say in theory as the process was smooth the first time when repairing my Taycan glass, but less so when doing the 911. In terms of OEM glass, they said at...

    That’s really good to know! I will email them.

    EV tariffs with Octopus & 3-phase set-up.

    Watching with interest. Are you with Octopus now? If so, how did you get a smart meter having 3-phase? The engineer that turned up said he couldn’t install a smart meter as we had 3-phase. We’re also with Octopus.

    Cracked Windscreen

    If it’s just a small chip or crack (around the size of a one pound coin or smaller), have Autoglass repair it (they repaired my Taycan screen). However, if it’s larger, or in a non-repair zone of the windscreen (check the Autoglass website), then definitely don’t use them! I made that mistake...

    Blank Key for Fob

    That key has to be supplied by an Official Porsche Centre as far as I know. It is custom cut to your vehicle and is used for the emergency door lock which you’ll find underneath the door handle flap.

    periodic "spongy" brakes. that don't stop. if i die please have my family sue Porsche

    My OPC quoted this reference when it was last in for this issue. Unfortunately, all this shows is they are aware of this issue! Sadly, I don’t drive my Taycan they way I won’t to… I simply cannot trust it to stop!
