I am looking for a wallbox. Could you advise me? Does it make sense to charge the car only 2 hours at 11Kw during the lunch break when my photovoltaic produces energy that I do not consume?

that depends how many km you need to drive. how much does your PV system produce?
how much does your electricity cost, does it vary time of use?

in North America, the plug-in EVSE charger is limited to 9.6kWh. For a hardwired wall box, you could have up to 19.2kWh. Sorry, I cannot recommend a wall box because I don't know what is available in Italy.

This part is correct > in North America, the plug-in EVSE charger is limited to 9.6kWh

This is incorrect > For a hardwired wall box, you could have up to 19.2kWh.

The correct info is > Macan EV can be charged from external EVSE up to a maximum of 11kWh. There is no benefit of having a 19.2kWh external EVSE. This is due to the design of the Integrated Power Box (AC) limited to 11kW unlike the Taycan that used to have a 19.2kW on-board charger option that is no longer available. I cannot see Porsche bringing it back since they do not offer it on the new Taycan.
