Sorry for this seemingly basic question - I'm browsing various CPO ads, the 2020 Turbo S variants list 150kw/400v in their e-mobility section but the Turbo simply lists 150kw.

for example:
Buy used Porsche Taycan Turbo S at Porsche Westlake <- 150kw/400v dc
Buy used Porsche Taycan Turbo at Porsche Beaverton <- Onboard 150kw charger

Clicking on the (i) icon, they both have the same option code (KM2) but the text is slightly different.

Are all 150kw onboard chargers created equal? Is there a material difference?

Edit: I pulled up the window sticker and they both say 400 V so it just must be a website text thing.

I think (not sure) that "Onboard 150kW charger" was the older description of that feature. Which would also be very consistent with Porsche changing it, because that description is confusing as hell. Makes it sound you generally can't charge with 150kW without it.

First off it is not a charger but rather a voltage booster from 400v DC to 800v (native voltage of the battery).

There is only the one option for this and so will be the same.
