Maximum AC charing rate: 9.6 kW or 11 kW?

Hmmm. Configurator only offers the following plugs for the EVSE: NEMA 6-30; NEMA 6-50; and NEMA 14-30????

I think the standard plug is 14-50

Well, could be that a 14-50 plug is standard. I actually know nothing about this topic (never had an EV before), except what Porsche configurator offers and what dealer said I should order.

Thanks. I need to learn more about this. These actually look less expensive than the porsche charger (I know you're not supposed to call it a charger.) Regarding monitoring, don't things like the ClipperCreek EVSE give you comparable information to the Porsche one? And isn't the most important info coming from talking to the car itself? (State of charge.)

FWIW, I have a ClipperCreek EVSE for our BMW i3 and it's bulletproof. ClipperCreek makes a great product line, and they are relatively inexpensive. The comments about hardwiring and the installation costs are valid, but other than the Porsche logo and the dubious value of a WiFi connection to the EVSE, there's no reason not to go ClipperCreek. It's the brand I recommend to everyone.

It's confusing - the Mobile Connect charger comes with a Nema 14-50 pigtail. The $0 options you see above allow you to replace the 14-50 pigtail with a different configuration. It's a mutually exclusive choice. 14-50 is by far the most common, at least here in the US and including at public locales like RV parks, so it's the correct option to be the default. Unless you know you have a different connector at home and know why you need to swap out the 14-50 you should not select any of the Supply Cable options.

The answer is DO NOTHING!!!! At least for USA customers.

See the selection of alternate plugs clearly states:

Supply Cable for NEMA 6-50 Electrical Socket
240 volt supply cable for NEMA 14-30 socket, replaces standard NEMA 14-50 supply cable.

Simply do not select an alternate plug and you will get the NEMA 14-50. Don't Worry Be Happy...

My config selections are:

Well @Dave T the issue is that at this time Porsche requires you to purchase the Porsche Mobility Connect unit so other than the Porsche logo and WiFi connection to the EVSE you already will have the unit anyway. Or I would be fine with Clipper Creek, as I said in another post I have 36 of their units at my workplace. And if not abused, work well.

The 11kW Taycan support today is only with 3 phase.

Are you sure about this? If you’re right, that would settle it.

From who I have read and heard this is correct. You will have 11 kW from three phase from the Connect supplied with the car. That will equal 16 amp per phase on a 240 volt supply

100% correct. UK.

In the US, look at the standard options as Porsche provides 14-50 standard in all builds unless you change it. Go for the free 25 foot cable as I hear if you order it later it is $755.

A 22 kw onboard charger will be available from mid-2020. It is not yet known whether this is offered as an option or as a standard.

From this date, a HUD can also be ordered.

Delivery probably from Oct 2020

Whoa, that's really interesting. How do you know this?

I HUD for what? The dashboard of the car? I highly doubt they are going to make such a change only a year after release. Please provide some hard evidence backing your statement.

There is already space for a HUD above the speedometer (you can already see the square above where the projector will sit). I noticed this during a test drive and my seller confirmed it.

The 22 kw charger will definitely come because I signed my purchase contract like this (HUD + 22 kw charger). It was the same with the HUD by my Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid. The HUD comes around 6 months later.
