Taycan 4SCT after 3.5 months and 5,000 km. 120% happy after waiting 13 months from order to Australian delivery and reading about innumerable issues on this forum, so posting a contrary view of my experience so far. Beautiful car, superb styling (unlike Macan, Cayenne). Attracts a lot of...

Problem solved. HEM had mysteriously disconnected, despite showing in PMCC as connected. Deleted HEM from PMCC, rebooted both HEM and PMCC, reconnected HEM in PMCC.

I had rebooted the HEMS which didn’t help. I’ll switch off and on the power to the “charger” when the sun is shining again and I can tell what happens. Thanks Craig.

After 6 weeks of successful “trickle charging“ from my PV to car, for the past 2 weeks, despite sunshine and >4 kW generated by PV, none has been delivered to my Taycan - it’s being sent back to grid! Car is showing on HEMS. No settings changed. Very frustrating. Any ideas?

Have had my 4SCT 7 weeks now and love it. Went with Porsche PMCC and HEM after ridiculous quotes for Smappee and after teething problems getting everything right (installing electricians didn’t get it right, but another forum on this site was great help). All working perfectly, in particular...

Thank you everyone on this forum. I am now able to “trickle charge” my Taycan. The primary issue was that despite my HEM showing as connected on my PMCC and paired, the icon showing the photovoltaic connection was not appearing. Solved by disconnecting and reconnecting HEM, having first switched...

thanks Gubab i did have a WLAN setup before which didn’t work, so switched to PLC. i’ll try disconnecting the devices and then reconnecting next weekend! Mike

Thanks Craig No it doesn’t, without timer it just goes full bore 11 kW which is why I thought timer would help! The suggestion from Burkhard that I should see icons for HEM and photovoltaics on PMCC screen, which I’m not, suggests that despite me going through all steps to ensure communicatio...

Thank you Burkhard. I have PMCC which does not show the HEM or photovoltaic icons despite the HEM listed under energy managers available (and I have successfully re-paired). Was connected by WiFi but I switched to PLC and that made no difference. I had the 3 phase connection and HEM installed...

Craig, a fellow Aussie here. I have done everything recommended in your post, but cannot make my car charge from solar power production when it is available, as it is right now! I would dearly love to use the cheapest power to trickle charge. My Taycan, the whole reason I purchased the HEM...

All working perfectly today, 36 hours after first occurred. Porsche Server issue.

Same problem in Australia. Had car one month and perfect until yesterday. Evidence of connection as being advised through app of pre-aircon completed. Nothing else working, exactly as described by BigBob except for 15 minute period where there was connection but said I was in Privacy mode...

I so, so nearly went for Mamba Green. Not brave enough. Carrara White

Yes, and very excited. Arrives Fremantle in 9 days

Yippee! My 4SCT, ordered in January, is built and in in Bremerhaven awaiting a ship. Can’t wait.

Thanks Oz. Nice to find another Australian who is going for an independent EVSE. I looked closely at the Zappi but I’ve seen some negative feedback regarding reliability and Smappee seem to offer other options for the smart home. We will still have our Porsche PMCs anyway. So, you haven’t...

Thanks Winge. Seeing the HEM manual very useful. Confirms that for my new Taycan Porsche HEM will do everything I want, it’s just my feeling that a SMAPPEE system might be better future-proofing (especially when I buy second EV) and the total investment for purchase and installation is only a...

Thanks. Yes, I understand PMC+ charges fine, but I’m trying to integrate with solar, charging car when electricity free, plus being able to charge other EVs in future.

Getting very excited as the build lock date for my CT4S is very soon (October build). One final decision is home charging for my car. Do I go with Porsche EVSE, included in price, or do I use a better generic. If the latter, I’m pretty sold on Smappee but what do others think? Here’s my...
