@W1NGE Yes, it’s only for emergency purpose. My point is that Porsche doesn’t allow 13A charging on a domestic socket with its mobile charger + domestic socket adapter.
Why?
As a consequence, I see no interest to pay for a high priced Porsche mobile charger, instead of a low priced Tesla mobile charger which supports 13A.
Emergency, for sure, but with the best possible charge rate 😊

As I am sure you all know the fuller the battery the lower the charge rate. The car will lower the charge rate to protect the battery. The real test is charging from 25%

for AC charging which is max 11 kW - that sort of taper does not occur until 95% or even 97%

up until 95-97% Level2 AC charging can do full power which is 11-22 kW - after 97% the battery will taper down - but even when my Macan was sitting at a FastDC charger at 98% it never was slower than 10 kW…

AC charging isn't fast enough to taper…for most of the battery's SOC range…

I use mine as my main home charger on 32A supply so plenty of reason to use to max out single phase.

I would use the 13A tail if going off grid.

Did anyone get the Tesla 3 pin charger working here in the UK as I'm getting a red light when it's plugged in, is there something else needed to be done on the app to start it charging?
