Thought I would throw this in here. Picked up our new Taycan (2021) a few days ago
Pulled up to an Electrify Canada charge station. Went into the charging menu on the car and clicked the “plug and charge option” plugged into the 350kw charger and within 1 minute I was charging.
Worked seamlessly, didn’t really track the levels but I did note a reading at the maximum level 12.9km/min charge rate.
A few notes
- Charged for 35 mins. Assuming that 30 mins is free with the car and I’ll get a charge on my credit card that I added when setting up the Porsche Connect app when I took delivery. Thought would actually stop at 30mins but it didn’t just keeps going.
- I am not able to successfully remove the plug from the port after charging has finished. Charge light turns white but charger is locked on tight. Last night I had to use the manual pull string to get it out when charging at a different charge station. Tonight at this one I went into the charging menu on the display in the car and saw it said the plug was “locked” in one of the menu options (even after charging completed and said safe to remove) so I clicked on it and it changed to unlock and then I was able to easily remove the plug. Is this normal?
All in all I was impressed with the experience. No apps needed just drive up, plug in and charge.
