So I took a trip of about 325 miles this week each way (650 round trip). The first half went beautifully and I charged at 2 chargers just to make sure I had enough juice to not have to worry about starting back. EA at Evolve NY worked well on the way there. On the way back, all of a sudden I couldn't get a charge. It kept trying to authenticate and failed 3 times at 2 different chargers in the same place I charged going up. I had to pay to get a charge .. then it worked. I have no clue as to why that happened. My cert is valid and there was no issue charging once I payed. Anyone else have this issue?
Oh, BTW, be very careful with the automated charging port door. On the second try, the flap covering the DC port jammed the port halfway. Porsche couldn't help me and kept asking me to call EA to get help??? on the charging port in their car??? Anyway, I finally got the port to open by doing a bit of flexible manipulation and held the flap down while unlocking and then locking the car (touching the car lock area).. for some reason that allowed the port door to retract and then the flap closed. All in all this cost me about 30 minutes of frustration trying to sort all this out.

I can't believe that the Porsche 800 number is so lame. People have warned about the automated charging port door.. didn't realize it would happen so easily.
