I’m a little late to this thread but noticed that I just took a similar road trip through Kentucky and had a tough time with the EA charging stations. First off my Taycan is a 2021 delivered in May and I can’t find the plug and charge option anywhere on the vehicle or the NA app. Do you have any idea whether you had to have the dealer set that up on a software update or did it just appear and work for you? Would love to figure this out to avoid another trip like I just took…..Charging NA app
In Car
- Tap the "hamburger" menu on the left side of the "find charging station" field.
- In the resulting "Porsche Charging Service" menu, tap on "My Vehicles"
- You'll see a "card" that shows you the current settings for your car. On my app, "Plug and Charge" is the last item. Tap anywhere on the card to bring up a form that lets you change the settings:
- The range of your vehicle (used for planning charging stops)
- The battery capacity of your vehicle (used for planning charging stops)
- The Plug Types you want to allow for charging stops
- Combo CCS
- Type 1
- CHAdeMO
- Domestic plug (home)
- Others
- Plug and charge is the last toggle.
- Switch it to "On".
(I have a US 2021 4S with the software updates)
On a road trip in mid-May with EA stops in: Franklin, Tennessee (Nashville suburb), Bowling Green, Kentucky, Clarksville, Indiana, and Georgetown, Kentucky, I had decent success with Plug & Charge. Once or twice I needed to resort to using the Charging NA app to initiate charging. The rest of the time, Plug & Charge worked.
- Go to the Charging Overview tab by either:
- tapping "Charging" in the main menu
- selecting the "Overview" tab along the top, or
- tapping the battery icon on the center console panel
- tapping the "Current Charge Level" heading on the resulting display on the center console panel
- While on the "Overview" tab, click on the "three dots" icon in the corner of the screen
- In the resulting list of settings, you'll see a selection to "Activate Plug and Charge" and another selection to enable a "Battery-Friendly Quick Charging" setting that adjusts the charging rate to extend battery life.
