I think you have Charging Service Plus activated, but check it here: It's free for 3 years from the date of purchase of the car.

Yes, scanning the QR code is equivalent to swiping the RFID card (or the crest keyring). It works at the same charging stations as the card, provided the charging station has a QR code.

Oh! That has a simple solution: just buy a new 2026 Turbo. Don't expect Porsche to bother updating your dashboard; they'd rather you buy a new one.

Available in Canada, the US, and almost every other country. I've never bought from there, but it's really cheap at $11... (Shipping costs about $20) https://www.ak24parts.com/en/spareparts/wix-filters-wp2295

That's right. And in my opinion, it's a misguided policy by Porsche, one that strikes at the very heart of their own business. Porsche has always boasted about the low depreciation of all its models and has made this a key selling point. However, if you let your EVs become obsolete because you...

Yes, that's right, lowering the temperature by 5 degrees to match the ambient temperature can take approximately 15 hours. This graph, which assumes a mass of 500 kg, can serve as a reference. For example, assuming a garage with a constant temperature of 15 degrees, if after 10 hours the...

Without BMS intervention, the temperatures should be the same after a few hours. A few degrees difference means energy is being added for cooling or heating. How much? I don't know. I'll continue testing for a few more days and will report the results.

Ok. Did you notice any difference between the ambient temperature and the battery temperature?

One question. When your car has been parked for a few hours, does the outside temperature match the battery temperature?

My guess is that the activated battery conservation function forces the car to "wake up" the BMS more frequently to check the battery status. This will result in energy consumption. It's well known that low temperatures are also detrimental to long-term battery health. The owner's manual only...

I think I have good news, although it needs confirmation. My Macan belongs to the club that loses 1% of its charge daily. Or maybe not anymore. In the past, I tried a bunch of things to figure out the cause: I disconnected the dashcam, I didn't connect to the app to check the status, etc. Same...

Besides the charging voltage, does anyone know if the 12V battery bar graph indicates anything about the battery's health? I've never seen it at 100%, only moving around 75%. I couldn't find any help in the user manual.

I did a small experiment. For some time my SoC has been losing about 1% per day. I started to suspect the 12V auxiliary battery. OK, I didn't plan on using the car for three days, so I connected the smart AGM battery charger and left it on for about six hours until it reached 100% (it started at...

Renault may be very efficient, but I still have a doubt. The SoC that cars usually display is calculated using an algorithm (just like the range indicator), and each manufacturer/engineer does it differently. The only known way to determine the capacity of an EV battery is by charging "x" kWh...

Yes, that can work. Activating the car's turn signals/horn also works. But be careful, this will wake the car from "sleep" mode and it will consume a little more energy. Anyway, I don't want to make a big deal out of this. 1% = 1 kWh can mean €0 if you charge with solar panels, or €0.06 x 30 =...
