As I'm considering driving my Taycan home from the dealer (3,000 miles), I'm looking for temporary power for a dashcam, radar, phone charger, etc. 3 of the things I have need 12V, others can do USB-C. How many 12V plugs and USB-C's are there in a Taycan CT front console? Anyone know the 12V max load?

I only remember seeing 2 usb-c ports in the front and nothing else. The 2 usb-c under the rear seat could work for you with long cables. I’m not near my car now or I would just go look. I have no idea what the max load is.

Just looked in the user guide on MyPorsche app. This should answer your questions…

Porsche Good To Know App doesn't work for me in the US. Tells me to install My Porsche and takes me to a link which does not exist.

I think your car needs to be activated in MyPorsche app before you can download the manual.

The above talks about "12 V electrical sockets" (plural), but it doesn't say how many? Is each one of them 20A?

Ok Google the manual / pdf version of PGTK App.

The My Porsche Appmwill work if you have a car configured / VIN. my Porsche website should also work.

There are 2 12V electrical sockets, 1 in front and 1 in rear (cigarette lighter style). It does not specify anything about the max load on those usb ports, not that I can find anyway.

Probably worth practising dislocating your elbows, wrist and neck, so you can get the cables plugged into the arm rest storage box.

To figure this out, we'd need to find the fuse location and have a gander at it. There are a few pics floating around of the fuses locations.
