no I read that - but did not mention it- no judgement - I'm inclined to agree with you - I'll be unsurprised if this is how you activate a Tesla Supercharger session…but I'm only 80% of the way there…and I hope you can still do it via Tesla app _IF_ they do it the way they did charge point -...

I get that and even noted the "minor win" in my original FAQ posting - I just bristle at the notion of 97,000 chargers written to sound like they are "newly" available to EV owner's I would've been more impressed if they integrated the charging session activation into the PCM main screen and I...

I love how marketing takes something you already had and makes it sounds like a "win" we already had (and continue to have) access to these 97,000 charging stations - no _NEW_ charging infrastructure is brought online by this change. The _ONLY_ difference is which app you can now use to...

I don't have omnipotent EV charging knowledge - but Macan is top-tier in terms of charging speed when everything goes as planned on my road trip home form ATL to SJC I got more than 270 kW at a charger in Lost Hills, CA, and more recently did a 10-80% run @ 150 kW EA station in 26 minutes…...

no doubt EV's are a terror while they are on "peak" performance - and yes it will do very very well again ICE vehicle's given it's awesome drive train and ample power - the question is how well can the Macan maintain peak performance under back to back laps, and then there is consumption which...

yeah it all gets muddy really really quick - but at full power you still need to feed 320 kW to achieve 500 HP - so at 90% efficiency you need 355 kW to get a raw 500 out of the EV motors. so I think the math actually works the other way - the ICE is 25% efficient so to get a raw 500 HP you...

2020 Taycan Turbo bigger battery not the small one - Porsche has been very very cagey about characterizing any quantitative improvements in the J1.2 Taycan - even dodging a direct question about thermals at a "tech talk" with a Porsche drive train engineer my internal contact inside Porsche...

hmmm Macan 4S @ 509 HP is about the same as a 911 GT3 in terms of HP 380 kW "max demand" vs. 95 kWh fuel capacity 95 kWh / 380 kW = .25 hours - or 15 min of capacity at "full" power now 380 kW is launch control - and we know you're not tracking in launch control mode - so the question is...

the Macan has a 100 kWh raw capacity battery - Porsche says they share 95 kWh of that capacity with us owners. If you start at 100% SOC and come off track at 5% SOC - that's 95% of 95 kWh or 90.25 kWh of power… Gasoline contains about 33 kWh/gallon of gas of "raw" physical power/energy…so...

typically not very long - there are a few problems with tracking an EV battery thermals are normally the first to cause problems actual consumption is high enough that you can't run for very long if thermals were not an issue EV's are heavy - and any street tire simply doesn't hold up to...

who's building codes and how does that happen - what loads are shed? you are North America?

consider this…if your electrician has noted you either can not add a new circuit to your existing panel or need to upgrade your panel due to limited capacity… this might be a solution...

this is consistent with North American experience for the Porsche EVSE https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/north-america-faq-the-ultimate-guide-to-the-porsche-evse-pmc-pmcc-pwcc.13886/

no for EA you jsut grab the handle and plug in - no app required or extra steps - the session activates when you plug in the connector - no steps/swipes required.
