Equipment
Because our vehicles undergo continuous development, equipment and
specifications may not be as illustrated or described by Porsche in this
manual.
Items of equipment are not always according to the standard scope of delivery
or country-specific vehicle equipment
For more information on retrofit equipment, please contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
Porsche recommends a Porsche partner as they have trained workshop personnel
and the necessary parts and tools.
Because of different legal requirements in individual countries, the equipment
in your vehicle may vary from what is described in this manual. If your
Porsche is fitted with any equipment not described in this manual, your
qualified specialist workshop will be glad to provide information on the
correct operation and care of the items concerned.

Safety
Safety instructions
DANGER
Electric shock, short circuit, fire, explosion
Use of a damaged or incorrect charging cable and a damaged or incorrect
electrical socket, improper use of the charger or failure to observe the
safety instructions can cause short circuits, electric shocks, explosions,
fires or burns.
-
Do not use a damaged and/or soiled charger.
Check the cable and plug connection for damage and soiling before use. -
Only connect the charger to properly installed and undamaged electrical sockets and fault-free electrical installations.
-
Do not use extension cables, cable reels, multiple sockets or (travel) adapters.
-
Disconnect the charger from the power grid during thunderstorms.
-
Do not modify or repair any of the electrical components.
-
Never immerse the charger or plugs in water or spray them directly with water (e.g. high-pressure cleaning equipment or garden hoses).
-
Only clean the charger when the control unit has been fully disconnected from the power grid and from the vehicle. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
DANGER
Electric shock, fire
Incorrectly installed electrical sockets can cause electric shock or fire when
the high-voltage battery is charged using the vehicle charge port.
-
Installation and initial operation of the electrical socket for the charger may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. The qualified electrician is fully responsible for compliance with the relevant standards and regulations.
-
The cross-section of the supply cable for the electrical socket is defined in accordance with the wire length and the locally applicable regulations and standards.
-
Connect the electrical socket used for charging via a separately fused electric circuit, which complies with local laws and standards.
-
The charger is designed for use in the private and semi-public sector (e.g. private property, company parking lots). In some countries, e.g. in Italy and New Zealand, mode 2 charging is prohibited in public areas.
Further information is available from your authorized
Porsche dealer or your local electricity supplier. -
Unauthorized persons (e.g. playing children) must not have access to the charger or the vehicle during unsupervised charging.
-
Please read the safety instructions in the installation instructions and the Owner’s Manual.
DANGER
Electric shock, fire
Incorrect handling of the plug contacts can lead to electric shock or fire.
- Do not touch the contacts on the vehicle charge port and charger.
- Do not insert any objects into the vehicle charge port or charger.
- Protect electrical sockets and plug connections against moisture, water and other liquids.
WARNING
Flammable or explosive vapors
Components of the charger can cause sparks and ignite flammable or explosive
vapors.
- To reduce the risk of explosion, –particularly in garages–, make sure that the control unit is located at least 19.7 in. (50 cm) above the floor during charging.
- Do not install the charger in potentially explosive areas.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If the Wall Charger Connect does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving radio or television antenna.
- Increase the distance between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules. To meet FCC RF
exposure compliance requirements, the device must be installed so that it is
at least 8 inches (20 cm) from all persons.
Observe the following instructions and recommendations in order to ensure
uninterrupted charging with the charger:
-
Before installation, check that the additional power required to charge a vehicle can be continuously provided by the currently available domestic installation.
-
Protect the domestic installation with an energy management system, if necessary.
-
The charger must preferably be operated in grounded power grids. The ground wire must be correctly installed.
-
When installing the new electrical socket, select an industrial electrical outlet with the highest possible power available (adapted to the domestic electrical installation) and have it commissioned by a qualified electrician.
-
Where technically possible and legally permissible, the electrical installation must be dimensioned in such a way that the maximum nominal power of the electrical socket used is available continuously for charging the vehicle.
-
In order to fully exploit the performance of the charger and to ensure fast vehicle charging, use either NEMA electrical sockets with the highest possible current rating appropriate for the power plug or industrial electrical outlets according to IEC 60309.
-
When charging the high-voltage battery via the domestic/industrial electrical outlet, the electrical installation may be loaded to its maximum capacity.
Porsche recommends that you have the electrical installations used for charging checked regularly by a qualified electrician. Ask a qualified electrician which inspection
intervals are appropriate for your installation. -
On delivery, the charging current is automatically limited to prevent overheating of the electrical installation. Get a qualified electrician to commission the charger and set the charging current limit as required for the domestic installation.
Refer to chapter “Charging Current Limit“ on page 15.
Intended Use
Charger with integrated control and protection device for charging mode 2 to
charge vehicles with a high-voltage battery that comply with the generally
accepted standards and directives governing electric vehicles.
- Depending on the regional power grid, use the appropriate device version.
- Refer to chapter “Technical Data“ on page 25.
The charger may only be used as a power cable, operator control unit and vehicle cable combination.
