You can turn on Porsche Destination Chargers from the filters here: https://www.porsche.com/usa/aboutporsche/e-performance/#charge-map

They also appear on the Porsche Charging app (at least in EU version).
when I use the destination charger filter there is not one listed in the US or Canada.
either it is a bug in their software of they are not updating things.
I know that my dealership recently installed similar units at their store but they are not listed.
for this to be of value Porsche needs to keep it updated

These are the new 19.2 kW chargers. I saw them at my dealer.

Do here’s the scoop. I spoke with the valet (management, as always, doesn’t know shit) and he sent me this screenshot with the specs (someone at the Four Seasons should teach the PR wiz how to spell Porsche):

awesome 19.2 kW means 100 amp breakers and 80 amp of charging goodness - these are super nice Destination chargers - will charge Teslas super fast also!!!

48 amps (11 kW) is the normal factory standard chargers in Taycan's and Model 3 so - these are great EV destination chargers for any EV

thanks for the update.

On a similar theme I stayed at a couple of nice hotels here in Switzerland last week, and both just stuck my Taycan on to charge without needing to be asked. It's an awesome aspect to EVs that on a road trip like that you can do the entire thing without needing to stop and charge or refuel.

The hotels were the Giardino Ascona and the Chedi in Andermatt. Both are recommended if anyone is over here!

Clearly no stranger to Taycans

Damn, I miss traveling and especially to Switzerland, which I think is one of the most spectacular places on earth. We stayed in the Chedi a few years ago and got married in Park Hotel Vitznau. We're driving to The Connaught in London on the 17th May for their first day of 2021, where, from what I can tell in dealing with the concierge, their version of charging is to park it beside a homeless man that keeps our tyres warm by urinating on them. We're not quite there yet.
