I don’t believe my issue is software related or related to any kind of voltage situation. I think my car’s onboard charger may have failed. But will keep you posted.
I’ve posted in this thread a few times, but I’m now nearly certain that I have a DIFFERENT charging issue. My car was not able to charge at the dealership. Others experiencing the charging issues in this thread have successfully charged at this dealership. Will update with whatever they find.
I’ve dropped it to as low as possible before getting the low voltage error on the charger. I believe it’s right around 80. I’m using the Vevor auto variable transformer, linked above.
As I mentioned in another post, my home charging worked fine for a month after the update, then suddenly...
My car has been sitting for a week. I’ll run it for a bit then try again. If there’s no solution, then it’s possible that the onboard charger is the culprit…which would explain why my car charged fine after the update, then stopped working all of a sudden.
I believe Porsche NA is aware of the issue. My service center had multiple Macans in for the same thing. They keep poking Porsche for a fix.
One possible issue: mine worked for a month following the update. I think others had the same experience. What happened to suddenly cause the failure?
Most commercial service is at 220v, which is why people are usually able to charge using a level 2 at Porsche dealers, even while failing at home.
It’s likely that you’d be okay charging at a hotel..but obviously a huge risk to take if there’s no high speed option nearby in case hotel charging...
Just so I’m clear on this: Once you got the Porsche charger working, you unplugged it (presumably ending the charging session), plugged in your Tesla Wall Charger/220v and it started right up?
Wanted to check because I’m going to try the same solution this weekend. Someone previously had...
I received the software update in early January and had no issues charging until this week. Took my car into Greenwich, CT for service today.
They and Porsche NA are aware of the issue and have no fix at this time. As others have said, it seems that the software update narrowed the window of...
I've had that error, usually when my home charging cable isn't totally connected. Lock and unlock the car if the charging port won't open. The error message will clear.
