So, I have the standard Porsche mobile connect charger, which is plugged in to a standard 110 volt wall outlet. I am allowed to select a charging rate up to 8 amps, but no higher.
I'm confused by this, as I'm pretty sure that the standard maximum amperage draw is around 25 - for the electric kettle in my kitchen. Now, I know you probably wouldn't want to draw more than about a 20% discount to this 25 on a sustained basis - i.e. around 15 to 20 amps, but this doesn't answer the question about why my charger is limited to 8 amps.
Does anyone know?
Thanks, Robert
