[FAQ] - Porsche's missing FAQ - What does ChargePoint integration to myPorsche app gain me?

[daveo4EV]

There is some truth to this, however maybe you missed my post above indicating that ChargePoint integration is most likely a stepping stone toward Tesla supercharger access.

no I read that - but did not mention it- no judgement - I'm inclined to agree with you - I'll be unsurprised if this is how you activate a Tesla Supercharger session…but I'm only 80% of the way there…and I hope you can still do it via Tesla app

_IF_ they do it the way they did charge point - I'll also be disappointed - the charge point integration does not become a proxy for your ChargePoint account and it's associated settings - rather it simply "adds" ChargePoint to the list of charging networks Porsche Charging service has a billing aggregation relationship with…

I prefer it to be a proxy to my actual personal ChargePoint account via O-Auth or some other authentication proxy because then I get all the capabilities and profile information from my actual ChargePoint account…

we'll see…but yeah most likely this will how you get North American Tesla supercharging - it will be added as a network you have access to via Porsche Charging Service.

Yeah it’s a bit weird but I’m just following the evidence - there is no way to activate non-magic dock superchargers in the Tesla app today for onboarded manufacturers, and other vehicle manufacturers are accessing superchargers through their own apps via ChargePoint

It’s entirely possible that you may be able to activate supercharges both ways down the road. Perhaps it depends on how much control the manufacturer wants to exert over it - if they want to keep the customer in their own software ecosystem or allow them to to install a number of apps for every network(or save them from installing apps for each network).

Perhaps I’m being generous because this reasoning would actually make the ChargePoint addition make sense

Thanks for FAQ I couldn’t figure this out. I’m considering a preview of what it will be like when they activate Tesla. I can avoid an account over there.
