An anyone give any advice on charging the Machan EV on a delayed timer ? We have a new Macan EV and apparently unless we have a Porsche wall charger you can’t program the Porsche app to charge the car at a time when you want. So we have cheaper electric between 12.30am and 5am but we can’t program the car to charge at that time.

Does anyone know if you can program the charging to come on a timer manually from inside the vehicle rather than an app ? Thanks

On the Porsche app you can plan a start and then in the advanced option select advance charging option and turn on optimized charging (start hour / end hour). Obviously if the time is not enough to charge the car I think that this option will be override.
Sorry if I can't be more precise but I have the app in italiani and don't know the exact words that are on the EN App.

What is not possible is to set the current unit (A) that could be useful when you don't want to burn an electrical socket and use 8/12A on a 16A circuit.

How about instant charging?
today was first time I charge my turbo Using Tesla wall charger and adaptor and it has it set to reach the 80% at a certain time eventhough I didmt set a departure time.
‘how can I just plug and charges continuously till reaching the goal

Simply don't plan any start. Plug the connector and set 80%. The charge "should" (it's better to be cautious).
Then there's the option to set a departure time (that works but not perfectly, at least on my side) and finally there's the option to set a departure time (to climate the car) BUT starting immediately the charging section.
  • 1st case: plug the connector, charging section start immediately and finish at set charging %
  • 2nd case: set the departure time, plug the connector, section start according to have the car at the wanted % for the departure time set (eventually the car can be climate). If there's no time to charge the car for the desired time, the charging section will start immediately. For this procedure I noticed that the charge end 30/45 minutes before the set time. Car conditioning works perfectly instead.
  • 3rd: set the departure time, plug the connector, section start immediately and will reach the % desired. If you set to climate the car, it will be be done for the time set.
As I wrote on my side 1 and 3 works perfectly; for case 2 anticipates a little too much the time by which the car is charged to the desired percentage. It could be that it is creating a statistic in relation to the charging current available from the wall box.

Here’s my experience charging my Macan 4 with a Tesla Universal Connector.

I have two departure schedules:

  1. Monday to Friday(60%): I leave at 5:20 AM for the gym(WTF). I’ve set optimized charging between 10 PM and 5 AM, so the car starts charging after 10 PM.
  2. Saturday and Sunday(80%): I depart at 8 AM, without optimized charging. I’m unsure when the car starts charging, but it will be fully charged by departure time.

    What I’m missing is the ability to set different maximum charge levels—such as 60% during the week and 80% on the weekends.
