Porsche NACS DC Adapter Instructions (English) - PDF Attached

I cut and scanned the small instruction booklet that came with the Porsche NACS DC Adapter we received recently- and attached it in case anybody wants one.

Very nice - thank you. If people just want the "bottom line" it's this: Attach the adapter first to the charger cable end then plug everything into the vehicle.

Even though the instructions say to plug in the car first, and then take the steps to start the charge (that is, use the Tesla app), I have found that it is better to trigger the charge in the Tesla app first, and then plug in.

YMMV

Thank you for taking the time to scan and share. I'm still waiting for my adapter

Vanjwilson is right. First, tee up using the Tesla app, select which charger you’ll be using (e.g.,, 1A, 4C, etc.) and only then, when instructed by the Tesla app, plug the adapter onto the Tesla nozzle and insert into the Porsche’s charge port. By not following these steps in sequence, we got a lock-in that lasted for TWO HOURS. Only way to release the damn nozzle from the beloved Macan 4 was to hang around Royal Farms and wait for 45 minutes or so!

Thanks for all this info. I have my adapter and excited to use it on a trip- I was able to setup account in Tesla app and a tip in case others do not realize- you can pre-save not only your payment info but also your non-Tesla vehicle.

I've done it both ways in my Mach-E. It seems to give you roughly 2 minutes to complete the process by plugging in once you activate the charge in the app. So you need to be pretty ready to plug in (adapter in hand, charge door open - which can be a chore in the Macan with the finicky power charge door).

Although there's a similar time-out if you plug in first. Seems to have around 2 minutes to activate the charge after plugging in. So either way you wanna have everything ready to go (phone in hand, open to Porsche app on the page for that charger, or the Tesla app if using it instead).

None of it is especially difficult, but it all gets much cleaner and easier when they get Plug&Charge working for Superchargers.
