in my opinion - at least in europe - a laser blocker is much more important.
i used to use the stinger glass fiber radar warner & laser detector for this. i now use waze.
it's important to know that unlike radar, there is no warning time with lasers. (no reflections) once the laser hits the car...
thank you @seabird !
and because the clarifying information is overlooked here so often, once again the information provided by @seabird. this answers all questions and thats how the car calculates:
No need: https://evkx.net/models/porsche/macan/macan_4/chargingcurve/
car meets charger, says “hi i am an macan, i can
charge with up to 270kwh” charger says: “hi, nice to meet you, i can charge up to 350 kwh”.car thinks: “thats fine, we will be on our way in 20 min”.
tragedy: charger did lie. owner blames the car…
the car “requests” the optimal charge rate which depends on the charging status of the battery. its a misconception that the car “decides” to take less charging than possible. actually a lot of chargers fail to provide the requested charging rate. how could the car “predict” this ?
it is a well tested fact and my own experience that the macan can charge at a good fast charger a bit more than 270kwh. that is peak which can be reached between 10-50/60%. Average speed when charging 10-80%. is 150 kwh. conclusion: charging at a fast charger speeds the charging up by 5-10 min...
macan is capable to charge from 10% - 80% in 21 minutes as often tested. you charged from 25% - 87% in 30 minutes. as the same tests show, the speed is not the same over the whole time it starts quite slow reaches a peak and gets slower to the ende, very slow above 80%.
if you have “preferred charging “ you have made an contract with porsche. @Devmac himself has posted this contract which consist of very few sentences.
it is clearly stated that there is no blocking fee at “preferred partners “ which are listed. further hat blocking fees are:
“Price per minute...
not true. the fee has to be applied “after 60 min AC/240 min DC.”
this is no secret. it is clearly stated. if you can charge cheaper with an other card, just use the other card. to complain seems a bit childish, sorry to say.
plus I am not happy about people that block chargers for hours after...
