I wanted to provide an update on my fast home charging saga!
I received my new Taycan last week. As it turns out, the PMCC I received is the standard 9.6kW version -- actually, Porsche forgot to include the PMCC with my vehicle, so I was given one from another '21 in the showroom. There was no pigtail adapter included.
So it seems a high-powered option from Porsche for NA customers is still a pipe dream. ?
I already have a 100A circuit and have had a Tesla WC attached. I simply swapped the WC out for a Wattzilla Uno 80A charger and so far so good -- I'm getting 80A with both the Taycan and Tesla MS!
I also considered the Clipper Creek 80A, but the Wattzilla was less expensive, smaller and looks much nicer, and was available to ship right away vs 6-8 weeks with the Clipper Creek.
If I were to do it again, I would not get the PMCC ($1120) or Charging Dock ($470) and instead put the money into a Wattzilla Uno ($2K).
UPDATE 8/12/22: After a woefully substandard experience involving shipping and packaging for a recent multiple-charger purchase (which ended up costing me significant time and $ to resolve), along with an inadequate and unprofessional response from the company, sadly I can no longer recommend WattZilla chargers. My advice would be to steer clear.
