[@PorscheCentreChester]

Glad you found it helpful.

[@robhemsley9181]

[@PorscheCentreChester]

Glad it helped

[@alancameron9593]

Clear nice demonstration

[@ralphbuoncristiani2941]

Can you explain the Porsche Home Energy Manager, perhaps in another video? Very little explanation on-line or from Porsche as to what it is for?

[@PorscheCentreChester]

Hello Ralph, The Porsche Home Energy Manager is more designed for buildings with 3 phase supply, this is not commonly avaiable in the UK and we wouldnt recommend the product as you would not see the benifit unless you have a 3 phase supply, please see the link below for more information on the product. www.porsche.com/international/aboutporsche/e-performance/home-charging/

What is the length of the cable from the charger to the vehicle? I understand in the UK They come with 2.5 m but Porsche make a 7.5 meter cable can this be bought separately thanks

[@PorscheCentreChester]

Hello Ala, the 7.5 metre cable can be purchased from our parts department.

[@wendydelaet5673]

Hello, we have a porche cayenne hybrid of 2015. Our charging cable has always had problems, but always got it out. Until last weekend, he blocked completely and didn't unload, tried everything that was in the book, put door back on and off and then you would have time for him to unload. But no, he's stuck. Are very worried that this cannot be repaired, because he does not give an error message after reading the computer. Don't know if it's possible to fix this in the garage and how much it will cost 😢🙏 maybe you know what the problem can be 😔

[@PorscheCentreChester]

I am sorry but we would be unable to offer any assistance, we would recommend that you take the vehicle to your local Porsche Centre

[@eastwest1362]

Cool video, but: please quote in kilowatts as this complies with the Porsche Tincan’s brochures: you have set up 3 phase supply in the wallbox - that’s 415v, so at 32A the max into the box will be 13.28 kw…… I think the car takes 10kw with the standard internal charger, so that’s the maximum the standard car will allow.

[@PorscheCentreChester]

Hello David, thank you for your comment, in the wall box used in this installation it is fed by a single phase supply rather than a 3 phase supply (we have used a three phase supply to power our charging sockets outside of the building (a blue plug is single phase and a red one is 3 phase)), when using a single phase supply with the 32 amp industrial socket this will supply the vehicle with up to 7.2kW, the Taycan as standard can support up to 11kW when charging from AC (a higher rated charger can be used but the car will only draw up to 11kW), you can specify the vehicle with a 22kW On-Board Charger to take full advantage of a 3 phase supply where the Porsche Mobile Charger Connect can supply the vehicle with up to 22kW meaning reduced charging times. I hope that helps with your comment.

[@GWAIHIRKV]

Would you explain the voltage you are using to power via the blue connector? With the option for 32A charging current, was that still with single phase in the UK (240V)?

[@PorscheCentreChester]

Hello Ken, The charger was fitted in our handover bay, we have a single phase 32A socket fitted inside the charger, this will allow you to charge a bit quicker than the normal 3 pin plug; however the quickest way to charge with the Mobile Charger Connect is using a 3 Phase supply.

[@Adamgsw12]

@@PorscheCentreChester Hi, how long does it take to charge the Taycan 4S with a single phase 32A socket?

[@PorscheCentreChester]

@@Adamgsw12 Hi Adam, it would depend on which Battery option you have fitted to the vehicle, which option was you thinking of?

[@Adamgsw12]

@@PorscheCentreChester I would get the 420KW 93KWH option.

[@amnazain4190]

Hello thanks for explaining everything in detail and replying to all the messages, kindly tell me the max amps the charger can take? Is it 40amps? I’m thinking to install a 3phase 60amp breaker so I get max amp for charger

[@PorscheCentreChester]

Hello Amna, Depending on which charger you have selected with your vehicle, the one shown in the video is rated at 32Amps on a 3 Phase supply, your chosen installer would be best suited to help with your electrical wiring.

[@amnazain4190]

@@PorscheCentreChester thanks I got the Porsche mobile charger connect . Same as the one in the video

[@xudongwang1054]

Where do I buy this box I wonder?

[@PorscheCentreChester]

The Porsche Charging Dock is avaiable to be purchased from our Parts department

[@orbitdist]

Hi thanks for the video. Two questions. 1. Is the unit waterproof, ie can be installed outside? 2. I’ve got a 3 phase supply at my works, what is the best connection to send to the unit in terms of amps ‘ volts please

[@PorscheCentreChester]

Hello OrbitDist, The Porsche Mobile Charger Connect is rated to IP55, to install the unit outside it would need to be installed in a protective housing, Porsche recommend the following enclosures when using the charger outside: ppn.porsche.com/prod/phb/tinfo/TeqFinderIntranet.nsf/TeqFinder?ReadForm&ba=Taycan&ma=PCGB%20(RL)&sp=1&bt=J1&mo=Taycan%20Turbo%20S&co=30&ac=product&pr=5529634B04B99745C1257E61005A2AC2 ppn.porsche.com/prod/phb/tinfo/TeqFinderIntranet.nsf/TeqFinder?ReadForm&ba=Taycan&ma=PCGB%20(RL)&sp=1&bt=J1&mo=Taycan%20Turbo%20S&co=30&ac=product&pr=5589DC9B1A719ABDC12582260054CCBF With reference to the supply, if your work supports it then a 32Amp 3 phase connection would be best aslong as you have chosen the upgraded 22kw onboard charger option.
