Has anyone experience of using the Bip & Go recharge card? It states on their site that is cost 0.20€ per charge - that seems to good to be true Répondez en français si vous préférez Tom

Hi All, I am off to the Nürburgring next Friday with my Turbo ( and a fresh set of Michelin Pilot Sports!! ). Is anyone who has taken their Taycan happy to share the experiences? I'll post my experiences of the green hell once I am safely home ;-) Tom

Hi All, My race-tex steering wheel has become fairly grim. It's now sticky and unpleasant to hold. Any suggestions for cleaning it or a recommendation for a company who could? I am based in Sussex so anywhere in the South East. Tom

I've just got back on Monday from the 24 heures du Mans. We drove there and back in 5 cars - A GT3, 2x 911GTS, a Aston Martin Vantage and my Taycan Turbo. Before we set out I was a little concerned that me stopping and charging for large amounts of time would p**s everyone off, however apart...

Hi All, We recently had a problem with our Taycan Turbo which prevented it from charging using the CCS port. More info here https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/charge-port-reported-open-when-closed.15691/ We were 2,000 km from home in South Spain. Porsche Assistance refused to help...

help... The right hand charge port is being reported as open when it is not. This means I cannot use the LHS port which is the CCS port in the UK. If I open it the car reports charging not possible. The issue is I am 1,200 miles from home in Southern Spain. Without CCS charging getting home...

I am in the early stages of planning a trip to the Alps to drive the most famous Swiss mountain passes. Most of the vehicles will be GT3's & GT3RS'. While I am confident my Taycan Turbo will keep up I am less sure about charging it easily/quickly. Has anyone done the Swiss/Italian Alpine...

Hi All, There are now three electric vehicles in our household but only one 7.5kW wall charger. I have a cheap tariff overnight but it doesn't last that long. Annoyingly all three cars are empty. It occurs to me that if I purchase I can charge one of the cars at 230x16 = 3.6kW instead of...

I have been unable to charge at number of chargers recently.The car reports a charging error and it seemed like the issue was with the car. It occurred to me that I had recently enabled "Plug & Charge". I have now disabled it and returned to EVSEs that previously didn't work, now all is good...

Just got this come through

Hi All, I have just got back to the UK from Spain. I had problems getting the Porsche RFID card to work with some Iberdrola EVSE's. I have logged a support call with Porsche and they are asking for screen shots. Annoyingly I didn't take any, probably due the fact it was 40'C and I was keen to...

I am planning a trip to Glasgow and thought I would break the journey in the Lake District. Can anyone recommend a hotel that offers charging (paid or complimentary)? Tom

Electricity prices are negative tonight. Good time to charge the car to the max. As luck would have it I just did 160 miles so the battery is only 3rd full :)

Has anyone got any experience of using a Télépéage transponder through thermally insulated glass? I have seen some comments that you have to hold it out of the window! In my Range Rover Sport there is a specific part of the windscreen that allows RF through. Tom

My TT is now on a boat so I need to get some insurance sorted. I have a reasonable quote from Admiral. Others have recommended Novo but their underwriter has withdrawn from the market. Anyone got any other recommendations?

Hi All, I have bought a car cover for my TT for use until I get a new garage built. The instructions say the car shouldn't have it's mirrors folded when the cover is used. Apart from leaving unlocked is there a way to disable the folding mirror feature? Tom

I have noticed that collection from the factory is now an option. Popping over to DE to collect it and have a tour of the factory sounds like it could be a fun trip. Has anyone ever done this? How does this work? I assume this is a lot more difficult now the UK is outside the single...
