    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    Here’s a picture of the 12 inch (300 mm) NEMA power cable that was included with the new PMCC. So it appears that the Porsche Service Center replaced, under warranty, my PMC+ with a new PMCC with a recalled power cable. I just received my APB6 safety recall notice today. Now what?

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    Here are photos of the cable and the back of the PMCC. Appreciate you guys helping to sort this out. With my old charger, even in my climate controlled garage, I would constantly get a charging error and overheating at 100% and had to reduce the charging rate to 50% in order to get an error free...

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    So far it is working better than the one that came with the GTS in 2022. I’ll keep you posted on its performance. Porsche tells me it’s been upgraded. Who knows. Daveo, I appreciate your guidance on this and so many other items.

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    Here’s a picture of the new unit that I received at no charge last week from Porsche. The cable from the charger to the car is significantly beefer than the original. Sorry for misstating the name

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    I took the supplied charger for our 2022 Taycan GTS back to the Porsche Service Center. After testing it they replaced it, under warranty with a new PMCC which included the upgraded cable. The cable cannot be solely replaced since it is not detachable from the PMCC. No longer have to reduce the...

    Had to fill up at a gas station today.

    What?? You can refuel a car at a gas station? I thought they were for coffee, hot dogs on rollers and Red Bull. Amazing….

    The new to me Stormtrooper Taycan 4S

    Congratulations on your new ride! Looks so much better than the Panamera. Wish we had the charging infrastructure in the US that you have in France.

    Thanks David for your through report and discussion. Any thoughts as to when Porsche will adopt both NACS (or a workable adapter solution) and provide access to the Tesla Supercharger network in North America?

    19.2 kW charging Retrofit cost in US - price breakdown

    Haha! No actually the service manager there called BS on the other dealer’s service manager who told me that using a non-Porsche EVSE would void the Taycan battery warranty. Going to take DaveO4EV’s advice and get a Tesla or Clipper Creek EVSE for our home wired with a 60amp breaker...

    19.2 kW charging Retrofit cost in US - price breakdown

    Yesterday the Porsche McKinney (Texas) Service Center quoted me $2400 for the 19.2 Kw onboard charger and $3500 labor to retrofit it into our 2022 Taycan GTS. Since the service center is an 10 minute drive from our home and offer 350KW DC charging at no cost to Porsche EV owners, I think its a...

    Is the new 19.2 kW on board charger worth it?

    Probably a good addition with a new build. Our local Porsche service center quoted me $2400 for the part and $3500 to install the 19.2 KW on-board charger.

    Taycan Charging / EA 150kw vs 350kw

    I did not order the 19.2kW On-Board Charger for our MY2022 Taycan GTS. The dealer can install one. Part cost is $2400 and the labor quote was $3500. I don't see the value in that.

    NEMA 14-50 Supply cable heat data

    Just went to a Porsche Service Center.. it is different than my dealer. I very much respect the service manager there and the first thing he told me was that using a non-Porsche or Electrify America EVSE does not void the warranty for the battery in the Taycan. We talked about the issue with...

    NEMA 14-50 Supply cable heat data

    To be clear, I do not believe he was referring to mobile charging stations. He was referring to the at home charging station that I wanted to replace/upgrade. I am going up to another Porsche service center later this morning to discuss it with that service manager and see if I get a different...
