Let me start out by saying I know there are a lot of threads on this topic however, I want to distinguish this by saying this is only errors during DC fast charging and I want to provide workarounds so people don’t think they need to have their vehicles towed. Also, I am interested in if other people have been seeing more of these problems recently as I had five charging errors out of 10 DCFS charges in a 16 Hour road-trip.
Charging problems happened at five different locations so I am not putting the blame on Electrify America just yet.
I have a Porsche Taycan 2020 with nearly 45,000 miles and I’ve had 285 DCFC sessions with very few errors until recently. I do have the latest software update applied.
I have provided details to my local Porsche dealer, and I am awaiting a service appointment.
- 3 errors left car operational but unable to start a new fast charging session.
- 2 errors showed “Electrical system error Service necessary” leaving the car non-operational, except to go into neutral for towing.
- For the unable to start charging, simply lock the car with no occupants take your keys with you and keep a good distance from the vehicle for over 15 minutes, 16 is a safe number. Then return to the vehicle unlock it, and charging should be fine.
- For the electrical system, failure, lock your car with no occupants take your keys with you keeping a good distance for over 30 minutes, 31 minutes is fine. Return to your vehicle, and all is well again.
