Porsche Wallbox - experiences / reviews?

[iPadOnWheels]

Anybody out there who is using the new Porsche Wallbox?

Right now I'm using the Tesla Wall Connector which is working fine but I had to open up the TWC to everyone to get it to work. With the TWC I have three options:

1. Only the Tesla VIN I program can charge at the TWC.
2. Only Tesla's can charge at the TWC.
3. Everyone can charge at the TWC.

With the Macan I have no other option than to open up the TWC to the whole world which is not an ideal situation of course. My Tesla Wall Connector, although being on private property and guarded by camera's, is not behind a gate. So in prinicple when I'm away others could 'borrow' some electrons there.

When I'm away for more than a day I just disable the dedicated electrical group I have for the TWC and enable it again when I return, but that's a bit of a hassle.

Now this new Porsche Wallbox has some nice features like the rfid and the certificate options.
For some inexplicable reason they are not giving the Porsche Wallbox away for free so if anyone has installed the Porsche Wallbox I would love to hear the experiences especially in light of all the issues I see with plug & charge (I'm also a participant there...).

Just to give my thread a bump...

Anyone technical enough to answer this question: plug and play isn't working again after the non connectivity was solved. I'm not going to make a big deal out of this since everything else is now working again so I'm not going to do a factory reset. But I was wondering how the functionality of this Wallbox works with respect to plug and charge, does it need a certificate for this or can you program your vin into the Wallbox like I could do with the M3 and the Tesla wall charger?

i am also ineterested in this particular wallbox.

if anyone is using it or has experience with it i would like to know if it comes with rfid card/keychain and how the LTE connectivity function works. my local porsche dealer told me that there is ''data volume'' included so i take it i cannot insert a sim card. i am afraid they couldnt provide any more info.

i am planning to install it in an area of my plot that does not have internet access so any info on the LTE function is highly appreciated.

When your car is connected (P&C enabled) it should handshake with the wallbox and allow the connection to be made (and remembered for the next time). On the PMCC you had to accept the connection and the PCID code (looks like a VIN but isn’t) would be exchanged from car to the wallbox.

Suggest re-reading the manual.
