What the F are these options, and do I need any of them ? (UK based)

[Keith]

Hope everyone is doing well!

Thanks to this forum Im almost there on a the little bits Im settling for my spec.
Would any of you mind clarifying if any of these cables etc are necessary ? I don't see many people including them on their spec so I suspect not.

Also, I assume you can plug in any I phone charging cable, or do you need their one ?

Thanks in advance. Im asking on there as well as researching to be sure.

I am UK based and also doing to add the 150 charge option (heard in case Tesla open up,, for EU trips ) cheers

Click on the i to give a description. I believe all Taycans in the UK now come a public charging cables so unless you want a spare then Mode 3 cable not needed. USB unless you want a Porsche branded one again not needed. And with the greatest respect if you don't know about industrial sockets you clearly don't need them.

Audio and phone cables - you do not require these and can use any USB C cable. Note that you also have wireless charging as standard.

E,-Performace first photo - you don't need any of these for home charging. All necessary cables are supplied as standard. Ensure you have a 32A electrical supply installation at home.

E-Performance second photo - none required unless you want a longer car to EVSE cable (substituting the standard 4.5m cable).

150 DC option is useful for any EVSE > 50kW <= 175kW - BP, Tesla, others.

I think the wireless phone charging would be better described as phone heating. It generates a lot of heat and very little charge

My experience of wireless charging (not in a Taycan) as well.

Phone must be perfectly placed and even a case can drastically slow the charge rate.

It's a fad.

It’s a great idea. It just doesn’t work in practice. At least not on the Taycan

I use it as seat heating.
Saves the battery of the car, more range left.
Cool hidden feature.

I agree. I prefer to charge with a wire. I do however use the wireless charger on a longer drive as a phone holder by placing the phone back to front so that it doesn’t charge but stowed nice and safe

If you can get the phone to connect to it at all!

Make sure the screen is facing away from you and the phone is fully inserted into the holder.

Charging can also be disabled in PCM.
