Taycan charging with PMCC at home

[terrys]

Anyone having problems with the charger cutting off before complete charge. I do all my charging at home and have my charger set at 85%. Several months ago the charging process was interrupted by charging error and I had to restart the charger to get it completed. I had the recalls performed by the dealer and got the car back today was assured the charging problem was solved. Wasn't the case as I tried to charge today and received the error again. Anyone else have this problem? Any solution that you know of?

Question: were you current limited in charge? Mine (Taycan 4s) tripped my 50amp breaker. Needed to adjust current to 35a to get to full charge.

Same with me. Since I adjusted down to 35amp several weeks ago I've had no problems. Probably takes a little longer to charge but since I do all mine at home what do I care.

Does the Taycan 100% charge point correspond to the Tesla 80% recommendation or does Porsche just not have that concern about full charge? My friend with a new Tesla charges to 80% unless he has a trip the next day.

Porsche recommends charging to 85%. If you do have a trip the following day okay to occasionally charge to 100%.

We ended up installing a chargepoint home flex charger on a 50 amp circuit. Haven't had any issues with it, but did have issue with the PMC standard charger. The chargepoint runs at 40amp when set for a 50amp circuit, giving you the 20% buffer.

Maryland had a rebate/grant program for installing a home charger, we received $750 for the install, which covered the charger.

There are rumors about a potential fix / tech advisory for the aforementioned issues with the Porsche chargers: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threa ... mcc.12384/

Thanks for the heads up. Ever since my I dialed mine back to charge to 35 amps I've had no problem. Thanks a little longer is all.

I use my PMCC max'd out at 40A without any issues. In the past, I have dialed it down when I left the car stored and plugged in for more than 2 weeks at a time. This year, I replaced the NEMA 14-50R that the electrician installed with a Hubbell 14-50R. Although the Porsche cord/plug heats up when using the PMCC at 40A, the Hubbell receptacle remains fairly cool. I also installed an air conditioner unit in the garage to keep the ambient air temp to 75F during the hot and humid Atlanta summer.

Thanks for the shout out. Mine is working pretty well lately as I dialed it back to 35. No problem since
