I’m in Canada and my Porsche dealer doesn’t even know how to get the owner’s manual loaded. Should I be contacting someone else? If I call Porsche Canada, they tell me to contact local Porsche centre. But when I was at the dealership, nobody there knew how to get it downloaded 🤦🏻‍♀️ Manual was...
Yea, I now am wondering if it’s defective or they’re all just like this. This morning I woke up and charger lights all lit red, had to unplug for 60 secs to reset it before it would unfreeze. According to the manual, the operator control unit has a technical fault. But my Porsche service centre...
Mine happened when it was at 50% as well. The weird thing is that the first time I plugged it in after electrician came, no red lights. But second time, red light flash came back. Then I removed plug from the car and plugged it back in, no red lights. So now I’m confused lol
So the electrician came today and swapped the socket to an EV rated Leviton socket. He mentioned the wiring doesn’t look loose for the ground wire. After he finished swapping it out. I tested it by plugging it into the car, and the red blinking lights are gone.
I was glad to see no red lights...
This makes sense, thank you for the detailed explanation. I was also thinking they can confirm that the line is grounded, to eliminate that possibility. And if it happens to be ungrounded, perhaps that would fix the red lights flashing. But I totally want to make sure I get the proper NEMA...
Yea the same happened to me. I was unable to reset and had to power cycle by unplugging it completely. It hasn’t frozen again since, but now the red lights flashes every time when connecting charger to the car’s charging port. It still charges, thank god. But I can’t help feel uneasy about it...
I wonder if the reason it hasn’t overheated or show any burn marks is because I typically only charge at 50% (Level 1), and usually charge between 40%-60% SOC. Occasionally I would charge using Level 2 up to 100% SOC when I need to drive out of town and need enough juice to get back without...
Upon inspecting the socket, there doesn’t appear to be any burn marks and looks like it’s a Leviton EV socket. See photo attached. So then my next thing to check is if it has been properly grounded?
I have a 240V line connected to the charger. How can I tell if it was grounded properly or not? The line was installed when the house was built 7 years ago.
edit: actually, looks like on the plate it has the letters GRDG, does this mean it’s grounded?
When I first got my Macan 4 and I started charging it using the mobile charger that came with it, the lights would flash green when I plugged it in. Then a month or two ago, I woke up and all the lights were lit solid red. I found it odd, and even after I removed charging port from the car , it...
