Porsche Charger Time of Day Setting

[flickroll]

I don’t see a DST setting in the charger software when setting the time on the charger. Is it there somewhere and I have just missed it?

The car will just get the local time from cell towers likely.

Do you have it connected to WiFi? Then it should take it from there. Did you have to set the time from the start? The car will have it anyhow and communicates with the charger so that could also set it?

Maybe the basic problem is I don’t have the car yet and once I do it will sort itself out. I did not have to enter the time, but I did have to enter the time zone. So it is set at ‘Eastern -5 GMT‘. But since we are on daylight savings time Eastern is currently -4 GMT. Maybe it doesn’t matter but it seems the charger and my iphone would be on different times of day. I would think that would make a difference when setting a timer. Thx

Once you set Eastern, given a date, it can auto-adjust DST. I don't have to adjust the Macan for DST, so I doubt I'd have to mess with the Taycan. Internally time is just stored as UTC anyway.

I think the OP referred to the Porsche Mobile Charger Connect.

The charger will just use a time server, so it'll be fine too, once it knows the location via your current time zone. Saying Eastern time means the charger will follow US time zone changes. (And Indiana isn't an outlier any more )

At least until the gov't changes things again, and all sorts of embedded devices need new firmware to know the new DST dates.
