[WTF!!] - 2026 Macan EV North America USA configurator

[daveo4EV]

interesting to see this back on the price list…

no word or information (from Porsche or otherwise) as to if this unit is a new-improved unit that could have fewer problems than the gen-1 Taycan's units (the 22/19.2 kW OBC's are notoriously unreliable, and Porsches has even stopped replacing them for existing vehicle's and downgrade to 11/9.6 kW unit's when servicing a dead 19.2 kW OBC) - the reputation for the 22/19.2 kW OBC's is that they fail often and the replacement units (if you can get one) is no better than the original failed unit in terms of reliability.

Kinda steep price though.

I probably would have optioned this had it been available, even just to do 11.5kw

Entirely possible that you cannot actually spec it on an order though. Unable to spec deviated stitching, or the painted key fob on my order even though you can add them on the configurator.

I don't see the value of that option (for most people). You can fully charge the battery overnight with the standard onboard charger.

This is old news, I saw it, and it was a hard no, as you do not want the J1.1 problems with it. I agree with @PrudentOcean that we just need to suck it up and deal with 9.6kW in the US. This is not different now with all US Taycans with all being neutered to the same with March OTA update. I hate going from 11kW to 9.6kW that worked perfectly for 2.5 years but there is nothing I can do now seeing 8.9kW when charging at home for 3 months now.
