Day 14: Stuttgart (Germany) -> Heidelberg (Germany)
We checked out of our hotel and headed to Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen – a trip of less than three kilometres. We're familiar with the area – and it's traffic – and are soon parked up in the underground car park.
And plugged in for a 11 kW charge – with the car at around 39% battery state-of-charge it would be five hours before its full – which is fine as we're expecting to be here that long.
On walking up to ground level – we see some faux Porsche police – really "site safety" officers.
With the famous Porsche monument down for scheduled maintenance.
The "Rent Me" car looking a little forlorn.
We walk across the road – over to Werk 1.
To where the original factory was and where Porsche Factory Collection now takes place – alongside some dedicated Exclusive Manufaktur dedicated configuration advice and individualisation. We lament that we're not able to collect our Turbo S here in the future – as its not open to UK/Ireland cars at the moment.
In fact the entire place looks like it might be undergoing maintenance/construction.
We grab some lunch in the cafeteria here and head up to the museum proper.
Admire the millionth 911 manufactured in Irish Green.
We chased one of these in this colour yesterday on the autobahn.
My favourite Porsche colour – Oslo Blue – would be my PTS choice.
And the always fun Pink Pig.
We then went on the to our Taycan factory tour – to both the main assembly building and the paint shop. We want to do a proper write up of our experience here – so that will be a dedicated post later.
Afterwards, it's time for some (non-alcoholic) drinks and food at Christophorus – the restaurant within the Porsche Museum building.
Many thanks to Porsche Centre Dublin and Porsche AG for organising and picking up the tab – much appreciated and enjoyed by us both – best meal we had on this trip – by far!
After our meal – it was time to head back down to our fully charged car.
We head to Heidlebourg – our over night stop tonight. Where the underground car park has an industrial socket on a pillar.
This is the perfect scenario – and reason why we pack our Juice Booster Travel EVSE with us. We select the appropriate 3-phase adapter and plug in – immediately getting 10.5 kW of power.
This is one of those situations where we'll leave our hotel tomorrow with an unexpected full charge – because of our travel kit.
The days charging stats:
Today we did 117 km over 1:30 hours, with an average speed of 76 km/h, consuming 21.4 kWh/100km.
