Plug & Charge now available for Tesla Superchargers via Porsche Charging Service

[PrudentOcean]

routinely takes more than 90 seconds to start charging for me @ EA sites in my local area

I’m currently charging at the EA in Santa Monica, California and timed how long it took from plugging in for the P&C authorization to complete and charging to start — 13 seconds.

what types of hardware is at that EA station - pic's will do?

I'm thinking it's hardware related…

It’s one of the balanced 350 kw chargers.

those are the _GOOD_ EA charging stations - I've had vastly vastly better experiences with those types of stations - unfortunately North California is littered with the previous generation hardware that is not nearly so good…

I want to point out that the results they observed with the Ioniq 5 are similar to what you can expect with the Macan, given that they both have 800V architectures. EA should offer substantially faster charging than even a V4 Supercharger, even if you have to wait a bit longer for charging to start.

I got the Tesla P&C email from Porsche on Tuesday as I was leaving on a road trip. So decided to try it. It worked first try, with no setup. But I only got 125 kW rate. I recall EA (only 4 stations) across the street was $.56 and Tesla was $.62 (like a bazillion stations).

No me! I've got 5 more months of free EA left and I'm gonna keep using it! We've done 6 road trips already since June (~60 EA charges) and have 3 more trips planned before our free year runs out.

After that, we'll see. We'll probably take the Lucid Gravity on road trips then, with Ionna as our 1st choice. We might make SC's the 2nd choice, even though they're slower.

I charged at a Tesla Station in Charlotte. I used the Nav to get to the station and charged for 19 minutes; 31 KWh just to get home. The session worked well until the end. I started from the Porsche App, but the cable would not release. I had to shut the car down and eventually the cable released, but it was a pain.

 

[PrudentOcean]

Did you turn the car off or did you use the button by the DC charge port to terminate the session?

 

[Irv09]

I stopped the session from the app. I used the start button to cut the car off and I was able to get the cable to release but I cannot tell you what really worked.

 

[Irv09]

After stopping the session on the Porsche app, I pressed the button next to the plug on the car, but no luck. I shut the car down, pressed the button next to the car with no luck. The automatic door attempted to close, but I placed hand between the plug and the door. The door retracted back to the open position and the cable eventually released.

I learned long ago with my Mach-E to always use the car's charge port button to end any charging sessions. It usually doesn't matter, but when things glitch, it's usually better to have the car initiate the session termination. That way it's the one in control, and tends to handle it's stuff better. If terminating on the charger, it would sometimes trigger a Charge Fault message in the car, and register as a Charge Fault in the charge logs.

No idea if the Macan might act similarly, but the logic seem sounds to keep the car in control just in case.
