I filed for arbitration RE the defective Porsche Mobile Connect Charger after the WMP2 update. Many of you thought it was a waste of time and doubted my assertions. PCNA resolved the issue with me one week before the hearing. I am very please with the resolution they offered me. Thru extensive research and discovery motions I learned the supply cable in my opinion is defective. In fact what all of us did not know is PCNA issued a revised technical information sheet to technicians after most of us had the update done. in a subsequent letter I received from PCNA they state "the maximum charging current specified on the label ( supply cable) is lower (16A) than the charging current (40A) that was actually approved for the infrastructure charging cable. PCNA also stated " If we do offer more compensation for this we will notify our customers to take advantage of such offer".. Sounds like they know they have to do something to compensate everyone.
First when it comes to reading warranties and contracts many of you try to justify your views by reading between the lines. In fact PCNA position as stated below is a 3 rd party EV home charger “would “ compromised the warranty. THE GOOD NEWS IS PCNA’S ATTORNEY EMAILED ME “ the letter you received from Porsche should have said it "could" compromise the warranty (not "would") but only if it causes some damage or otherwise necessitates the repair. We are working on getting a revised letter to you on that issue. “
BOTTOM LINE PCNA CLUELESS RE ISSUES AND IT TAKES THEIR OWN ATTYS TO TELL THEM THEY ARE OUT TO SEA. ATTACHED IS THE NEW OWNERS MANUAL SUPPLEMENT RE CHARGING. IT SAYS THE CONDUCTORS (INCLUDES THE SUPPLY CABLE SB 6 AWG. THE CURRENT SUPPLY CABLE IS RATED 10 AWG.
