the standard equipment page/list on the Porsche USA website shows the following for the Macan EV
14-50 is a 4 prong plug - supply cable for a US socket type is a NEMA 5-15 plug (this is 3 prong normal household outlet - super super slow charging cable)
if you intend to use the NEMA 5-15 cable...
North American EVSEs from Porsche have the following choices for power supply cables:
NEMA 5-15 - L1 - 120V - 1.44 kW - included
NEMA 14-30 - L2 - 240V - 5.76 kW - optional ($250 or more optional purchase)
NEMA 6-30 - L2 - 240V - 5.76 kW - optional ($250 or more optional purchase)
NEMA 14-50 -...
Here are the two Adapters you'll want to consider if you own a NACS EV - pic below represents the type of plug/port you EV has installed from the factory.
NACS Vehicle Chargeport - both L1/L2/DCFast
Examples of the two adapters that a NACS vehicle would require to use a J-1772 EV Charger...
Here are the two Adapters you should consider if you own a J-1772/CCS1 EV…most all non-Tesla EV's in North America to date - but that's about to change…pic below represents the type of plug/port your EV has installed from the factory (All Taycan's and Macan's shipped to North American to date) -...
my understanding is this is a European Union regulatory requirement - you can thank your govt. official for this - if you feel strongly I suggest you vote appropriately when you can
I'm starting to dislike the EU requirements and they are screwing up tech for all of us world wide…
should work fine with proper and well built adapter
one might consider swapping for a Tesla Universal Wall Charger (J-1772 & NACS) for maximum future proof - but it's entirely un-necessary - but the TUWC does come with a slick/built-in low-profile J-1772 adapter - but again swapping is...
but the duration is sooooooo much shorter and typically the SOC is not close to "full"…so yeah you're fast charing but for like less than 30 seconds a whack at the brakes…and it tapers pretty quickly (vehicle doesn't go fast enough to generate a full 240 kW for very long under braking)
that's good advice - most pre-installed NEMA 14-50/6-50 power sockets were not industrial/commerical grade sockets - and when subjected to multi-hour charging sessions daily they absorbed thermal stress and could eventually fail - this in combination with a nominal operating temperature of the...
if you were to own a NACS native EV - you would want to consider having these two adapters when traveling away from home and your normal charging infrastructure…

Porsche includes the Porsche Universal Charger with Macan/Taycan which is mobile NEMA 14-50/6-50 and max 9.6 kW (40 amps on a 50 amp breaker) - J-1772 - it is an L2 EVSE - or L1 - the Porsche Universal Charger supports modular power supply cables - and Porsche offers NEMA 5-15 (L1 - 12/15 amps)...
porsche charger (EVSE) is L2 @ 9.6 kW - NEMA 14-50 or 6-50 plug - 40 amps - 50 amp breaker - Porsche only endorses their charger, but that's because they are clueless - these items are called EVSE's - Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment - they are simply external raw power supplies with an on/off...
after dealing with many cars and many manufacturers I have come to the conclusion "there is no winning" - all manufacturers are great when things are working, and they all fall apart when things don't go to plan - and as complexity increases things rarely these days go to plan…and then we're...
Porsche excels at Mechanical engineering…
software updates, planning for them, software architecture, and in particular designing complex integrated software systems for future updates is not mechanical engineering…
digital is not Porsche's thing…
