I think the server is down. I canˋt connect my home energy manager and my PMCC to the Porsche Id either.

Don't you just love cloud connected products?

Charging works - even if not connected to Porsche ID. Taycan drives when servers are down. We probably will be able to connect the devices to our porsche ID in a couple of days. so no problem….

Click on User Profiles. It should allow you to login, although I haven't tried logging out and then logging back in via this method. Please let us know if it works.

Tried that. There is no option to porsche ID login.

Yes charging is working. will just have to wait for it to resolve...

quick update. After watching few PMCC videos (as no PWCC videos) on YouTube, I skipped the pairing and went straight to next page. It’s connected Tk my Taycan and charging. Though I would love to pair with my Porsche ID, I think this is good enough for now.

Did you add a 100 amp breaker in your main panel then run the line directly into the wall unit? Most people run to a sub panel then to the wall unit. I am planning to run mine the same way you ran your unit looking at the photo's.

I just ordered the same 19.2 kw wall unit. I plan to add it to a beach home I have as there is currently no charger stations in the area for at least 35 miles away. Plenty of level two but no high speed should I need a quick charge.
This unit will do the trick should I ever need faster charging. I plan to install the unit myself as it's a pretty straight forward install with the unit being within two feet of my main service panel. I will post my experience once I get started.

Can you send a screen shot of what you see when you click on the "User Profiles" option from the web application?

I added the 100A breaker directly in the panel rather than a sub-panel.

One issue you'll want to consider is that 2 AWG wire is very stiff, so although the wire entered on the right side of the panel, I needed to route it across the bottom of the box to tie it into a breaker on the left side.

Also, be sure to follow the torque guidelines to the best of your ability. You don't want any oxidation to build up on the breaker connectors (although this is less of an issue for copper).

Anyone know if there is a way to make the PWCC charging cable longer?

That's a tough ask since current handling requirements make it difficult to find an extension cord.

I saw a 48A J1772 extension cord on Amazon, but that won't cut it on the PWCC if you are running at 80A. However, there might be higher current handling extension available. Pass it along if you find it - I'm curious too.

cheaper to puchase an EVSE w/longer cable than to extended a J-1772 cable.

Thanks for the insight, my plan was to buy single 2 AWG line to make it easier to work with. In my case I will put a 100 amp breaker in my main panel then run three separate 2 AWG lines (2 hot and one neutral) then one ground. This should make it more manageable to work with such heavy wire.

For a US/North America installation you don’t need three 2 AWG lines, just two. Also, the ground wire I used was 6 AWG since it doesn’t carry current during charging. You should check with an electrician of course.

Thanks Sam so you don not need the nurtural line then. Makes sense as most 220 v hot tubs are wired that way.

Thanks
