Thanks. I've got a feeling not with the Porsche tax on ANY of the replacement options. Especially since this functionsYes, you’ve installed the standard Porsche Mobile Charger + (PMC+) inside a cabinet designed for the upgraded Porsche Mobile Charger Connect (PMCC), which has the fancy touchscreen. The PMCC is larger and would fit flush inside your cabinet (which is version 3). You’ve got 3 options:
1. Leave as is
2. Replace cabinet (you need version 2 w/ smaller aperture)
3. Upgrade to the larger touchscreen version
Refer to Suncoast for the different options:

Nice job!(FYI: I'm in California) I finally finished a home charger set up. It took a while to plan it all out. The primary challenge was to find a good location, and then the path for the new cable, and then to pull it though. I didn't want to hire an electrician, since I wanted it be done exactly right with my own materials, hence I also took some time to learn the requirements and just do it myself at a comfortable pace.
Equipment:
Total ~ $600 + sales tax. I also had to buy long drill bits and used a bunch of my own tools, like wired and wireless drills, drywall saws, hammer, screwdrivers, cutters, plyers, and so on.

Here is the final result:
As you can see, the NEMA 14-50 outlet has its ground pin to the right, which is the most optimal for this location, and it's totally ok with the code, which doesn't actually specify the outlet orientation.
The cable is long enough to reach the car parked in garage, OR outside.
This is how the main panel looks like (with cover off). You can see the green/red/white/black wires coming in the lower left, connected to the 50A breaker at the top. The panel is mostly empty, because most circuits have been moved to a sub panel (partial home backup).
At 100% selected on the charger, I'm getting 8.4 kW - which is a bit lower than I expected (>9 kW) -- does anyone know why?
Hope this info is useful to someone. Thanks.
Good example of how wide the Taycan is. Becomes a bit of a tight fit in most garages. I think the charger position in front of the vehicle (as listed shown here) is logical as it provides options to charge the Taycan on both sides and perhaps a 2nd vehicle if needed.I have a hardwired 60amp ChargePoint Flex center mounted at back of garage - gives ca 10.5 amps to the car when charging. Have an additional NEMA 14-50 to the right (second pic), both connected to dedicated wall panel for garage, as we will be getting the new Mini electric once it arrives hopefully next year. The black rectangle to right of the ChargePoint EVSE is a WiFi connected TempStick which is an excellent temp-humidity gauge. Currently mount the ChargePoint's plug to left of my CT (not as cluttered as this view suggests) for simple connect when I park there.
Finally the Bendpak lift is a 2 car 4-poster lift and if nec I can have the electric cars stored up top and still have easy access/reach to the EVSE (with cars fully elevated I still have o er 8ft ceiling clearance up top). This area of Houston prone to flooding and although only twice in 30 years has it being bad enough to enter our garage I nonetheless have the option to ensure our cars never get harmed
Garage a mess right now - BMW R1200GS off to right has it's own access door - wife's Mini Cooper S occupies open space and you can see the extra 14-50 socket there.
Grabbed couple of older pics to show the garage setup better:
I would venture “voltage” - 8.4 to 8.6 is well with in normal voltage variations - you can check voltage with a Tester at the NEMA 14-50 plugAt 100% selected on the charger, I'm getting 8.4 kW - which is a bit lower than I expected (>9 kW) -- does anyone know why?
The angle here is a bit deceptive - the Mini has no issues parking beside it and in respect ingress/egress - std double garage - that said if you had two larger cars/an SUV etc no doubt it would get tight in this setup!Good example of how wide the Taycan is.

This is clearly garage porn. ???
Do you know if you have neutral line in your 3 phase 240V supply? My place do not have neutral line and wonder if it works or not.You can request it any time. The cable cost around 107Uk. i have 3 phase 240v supply at my place so purchased the cable before hand . Attaching pics for you to see
One end connects to your charger while the other goes directly to your electrical supply .
