⚡️ Home Charging Issues after Software Update? (Tracking Thread)

[loudsnorelax]

I've made a few posts in this thread about my charging issues. Turns out they are not related to the software update and stem from something else. Porsche is replacing the Integrated Power Box, which contains the onboard charger, among other things. It took them two weeks to make this diagnosis...no ETA on when the work will be done and I'll get my car back.

Is the integrated power box a part on the car or something else?

I was thinking of getting one of the voltage regulators and trying the level 1 charging trick but that just seems to be a lot of hassle.

Just got my car back after being in the service center for the last 5 days. You guys were right to not get my hopes up. They ran diagnostics on it and said everything is working in spec. Also, they did mention Porsche NA is aware of the issue and they released a bulletin which basically explained the issue is due to the fluctuation of power and not the actual voltage level as we were originally thinking.

I'd just mention that when they say it's power fluctuation not voltage fluctuation, power (wattage) is the product of voltage and amperage (W=VxA). So saying its the power not the voltage is a bit off.

It’s a part of the car.

@nick729 any news from Porsche? Did their engineers find a solution for the charging problem?

Apparently there is a fix that is in the finishing stages and will be deployed soon. They're not willing to share much, but as far as i can tell the plan is to downgrade the module responsible for charging and then work on a new version with the issue fixed. At least this is the plan for my car, so not sure how this affects the rest of the world.

But since i am getting limited info passed on to me through the dealer - i don't know for sure.
