This is big news - up until now I believe we all assumed Macan would be limited to 150 kW @ North American superchargers!!! But the report above indicates a 225 kW charge rateā¦Our Turbo was the first Macan Electric delivered by PEC ATL and we expected to beat you to the west coast but we delayed in NC by a death in the family. We left left Kernersville 16 NOV and arrived in Portland,Oregon Friday, 22 NOV via I-80 & I-84.
The PCM routing and charge recommendations were amazingly useful and accurate. We stopped at sunset and took 7 days. We have 4,000 miles on our Turbo already.
The most surprising PCM recommendation was a TESLA SUPERCHARGER with MAGIC DOCKS in Haubstadt, Indiana. A local showed me how to press the button on the Tesla plug for two seconds and release the plug with the CSS adapter attached. Never thought I would have a Tesla account but I do now and the charge was perfect and fast - peaked at 225 kW and stayed higher and longer than most Electrify America chargers. I plan to order the Tesla adapter.
The one downside of the Tesla charger was it deselected Plug & Charge in our Macan. The next EA charge failed, including starting the charge from the My Porsche iOS app - had to pay for the charge with my EA app. The next EA Plug & Charge worked well. Elon would not do this on purpose, would he?
This means one of two things!
- Macan can support 250 kW charge rate @ 400V FastDC stations like superchargers!!
- the Superchargers in question can pump out an 800V charging session
I'd love more reports and more testing from anyone at any supercharger station.
This is a link to the original posting - but I believe this sort of data deserves it's own thread!!
