I ended up buying a Vevor Level 1 Charger from Amazon to allow my vehicle to be plugged in and charger at the airport. You can find options for about 140-160 CAD, and it may be worth a try to see if you can get charging to start on 120V. For some of us, the reason we are then adding a 120V...
Happy to try things. The more we dig at one point I would hope that it leads to a solution for us all.
I was of the view it was tied to voltage and did get a regulator. Will be testing that again when my car fails to initialize on the level 1 charging. A bit disappointed the regulator didn’t...
Changing the amperage doesn’t work unfortunately. My charger can flex down to 6A from 40A and anywhere in between, and no changes for amperage lead to a successful handshake.
Also the car asks for 2As to start and then once the handshake is successful it ramps to 40A. At least that is what my...
What unit did you end up buying? Same question for you Danbar? Voltage fluctuation was live and well today at the house seems, and wasn’t able to get the L1 to start without fiddling with it and timing it to drops. Willing to spend a few bucks to try and remove the guess work until this is...
Thanks for this. Needed to use this approach this weekend to get it to charge at home, and worked both times. The his is without any voltage regulator. Both times it did fail first on my level 2 charger, but disconnecting the level 1 and plugging in my L2 immediately after did the trick.
I am hoping after the work on your car next week, assuming and hoping of course it works, is if you can share the service records. I was told today by my dealer that they are unaware of anyone else having this problem and there is nothing posted by Porsche yet for any issues related to home...
Reviewing the data was extremely helpful for myself and my situation. Understand it may not be everyone's, but my home issues charging are clearly tied to voltage. What's interesting is I am able to watch where its trying to connect and getting the charging stopped issue, I can see what the...
Morning results:
- 250.5V -> failed to charge
- 244.7V - > charged successfully
I am going to go and pull all the data from the charger, and see if I am able to sort through when charging starts if there is a trend over the past 60 days for voltage at that moment.
For clarity - nothing...
I wish I could get a response from Porsche NA, as some of what we have been testing here could be helpful.
Today after a long road trip w/ 2 fast charging (which is so nice to see 275+ KW by the way):
- @248-249Volts - failed to charge
- @244 Volts - charged at home
I am going to try and make...
Emporia app, click on usage, click on your charger, and then in the top right select Volts. There is then in the bottom a live option or by the minute. I am going to track things but we typically have above 248 and as high as 251 here.
I have been reviewing my Emporia charger voltage just prior to attempting to charge and can see that there seems to be a trend when below 250V across the charger I am able to get it to charge. Someone posted a thread about this earlier that they have missed voltage ranges allowed in NA when...
Is this someone at Porsche NA? If so can you direct message me the email so I can reach out as well. The more of us in Canada/North America reporting the issue the better.
Just to ask for clarity, you have tried the scheduled departure let's say 24 hours in advance and had the app/car reach the charging paused status on the app (or blue light on the car's interior LEDs?). When scheduling a departure you aren't clicking the direct charging at that time, but are...
If it’s like mine it won’t be your charger. I have three different chargers at home and same result. Whatever charge you purchase I would make sure it can be returned unless you need a spare. I have an Emporia/Porsche L2 chargers and a Levor L1 charger. Same results across all of them when my...
My garage is heated, although I am in a cold climate the garage is at 10-14 degrees Celsius. Battery temp is around 12 degrees lately and it has been hit or miss to whether it charges at home. I actually had more success during our -30 degrees Celsius December having no trouble charging. As...
My guess is the car went blue when you plugged in her car as it awaits your time of day for charging, and then ultimately at 7PM it connects? This is similar to my workarounds with a delayed charge as it is ultimately doing a handshake first to then put it into paused mode (when that works)...
