New poster, new car spec configuration - advice please :)

The 150 kW DC charging capability is (almost) useless. Unless you can find the 3 or 4 chargers more powerful than 50kW that still rely on 400V, you will never use it.

"That option isn’t needed because essentially every DC charging station in North America capable of putting out greater than 50 kW is already able to put out power at “800V” so the Taycan’s default 400V 50 kW converter limitation doesn’t apply.

Even in Europe, there are only a very small number of charging stations that can’t handle more than 500V and can also output more than 50 kW."

Here in Portugal almost every public AC charger can output 22kW. That is one option I would choose in a new car. But every market has its differences.

For the cost of this option of 150 kW charger, I consider that one of the best values in the option list. There may be very few 150 kW chargers in Portugal ( seem very few HPC full stop!) but in Central Europe there are quite a few.

Also if you like to gamble a bit, what about if Tesla chargers suddenly would be available for CCS charging. It is said there are already some stations available?? They are to my knowledge all 400 volt.

Feel that is worth a chance?

Agree @Scandinavian. In Ireland alongside Ionity there is a state EV network building out 50+ hubs (we're a small country) with 400V 150kW chargers.

Here is some info I've posted previously:

Pick this option and future proof the car. In fairness, it should be included but hey – this is Porsche!

Id add Mission E wheels in black along with the sport side skirts.

That's why I said that every market has its characteristics. My car has it, to future-proof it, but I'm almost sure I will never use it.
