Wow - THANK YOU ! I had spotted the Ionity chargers you mentio , and they’d also come up on the Porsche route planning too for a 10-minute splash & dash (or whatever ther EV equiv of that is), so will follow your advice and schedule a stop depending on battery condition when passing throuhg...

Thanks @Yves . I didnt realise I could add an EV stop on Apple Maps. That gives me even more options ;-)

Thanks @Throb - great advice. I’m travelling from Manchester to southern Cotswolds so will be taking in motorways initially then plenty of A + B-roads and smaller towns closer to destination. IUt seems Ionity is an option but slightly off route so wil see how I go… cheers.

Hi I’ve had my 4S for a few weeks now and we are planning our first trip of any distance, which will involve a public recharge or maybe two. This is our first EV so we are public recharging virgins, and wanted to see what advice is out there on the most optimal way of planning and executing the...

Wow. That is concerning. Fortunately I spotted mine whilst in the drive outside my house. Will keep checking now whenever leaving in public for a while.

Yep - tried that at the time and it didn't work. All has been fine since however.

Yep - that was my assumption too. I didnt think of resetting with the door open and will try that if it happens again. Thanks

Same here. Also on Octopus and paid the higher rate last night as there was no control over charging as it appears Octopus could not intervene by setting up a future Schedule

Well, mine started playing up again last night ! I plugged the car in expecting Octopus to take control and it did nothing... and the car just started to take a charge at the higher rate, as I watched Octopus, charger and Porsche apps waiting for something to intervene and pause the charging...

Same issues here and possibly explains wy Octopus has failed to correctly charge my vehicle overnight as it too must rely on connectivity via the App. All plugged-in as per instructions but Octopus failed to intervene and it just charged up at the more expensive rate. I’m going to try to klet...

It seems to have settled this morning is working (hopefully). Resetting the window didnt seem to have any effect so I simply had to edge it as close to closed as I could overnight.

Has anyone had an issue with the passenger /left (nearside in UK) front window refusing to close? Every time I close it, it drops again to approx 1/2 way open. I try the full auto-close and it drops. If I edge it one small step at a time, it looks promising then drops again when it reaches the...

Looks great! Given the space in there you could even elaborate further and have a 3-tier system in place. Maybe you better copyright it before someone else's steals your idea!

It's definitely a game of hit & miss but I managed to get through the Test without having to lower/raise the car's capacity. I probably just caught it at the right time by sheer chance. The good news (although confidence is not yet that high) is that Octopus charged it perfectly last night. I...

I'd consider adding g rear steering next time. The EV 4S isn't as manoeuvrable as my previous ICE Macan S in tight spaces.. such as UK multi storey car parks.

I saw this mentioned in another post on here but the passenger seatbelt issue can be resolved by pushing the clasp (the bit that goes into the car when someone sits there) to the top of the belt on the door pillar. It holds in place and stops the rattle when there is no passenger. Works like a...

Thanks for the advice. I wondered where that random Departure time entry had come from in the Porsche App but this explains that also!

I'm a very cautious driver ;-) Yes, good point on it being mainly local driving with heating, music, etc all active too. It's also below zero here with snow at present. I'll keep an eye on it... I just noticed the supposed 10 hours of driving yesterday too. I don't think I was awake for 10...

Have you found it to be reliable Steve? Its my first run of it tonight but had a few issues when I let the EV Charger schedule previously. Any issues with the car coming up with a charging error when it is first plugged-in if Octopus doesn't permit it to draw charge? Also, I am assuming this...

Maybe I'm doing something wrong... not getting near to those values. I'll turn off regen and see if I notice any difference. Macan 4S with 22" Spyder wheels, no preheating but a reasonable length journey yesterday
