I'm born and bred a Belfast boy!
Taycan battery is an 800V system.
By default Taycan can charge at 50kW with pre-existing onboard DC charger.
150kW DC option is for 400V chargers and converts the voltage to 800V to charge the battery. No brainer to tick the box for the small cost.
Taycan maximum charge is 270kW 800V from a 350kW charger (if you can find one).
Not heard of 960V but not relevant in light of the above.
AC charging is slow (needs to convert to DC so that the battery can take the charge) but clearly if you need to charge whilst out and about during the day then 22kW option would make a lot of sense economics aside.
If you option the PMCC charger (22kW capable on 3 phase supply otherwise 7.4kW on a single phase supply) in place of PMC Plus (11 kW max I think but again needs 3 phase to achieve it otherwise limited to 7.4kW) then that may give you more home charging options if you have or install a 3 phase supply. In general, standard domestic single phase supply for overnight home charging is more than adequate (7.4kW) and will comfortably charge from 40% to the recommended 85% overnight and off peak.
