Charging

Vehicle charge port
For information on connecting and disconnecting the vehicle cable to and from the vehicle charge port and for the charging and connection status at the vehicle charge port:

Charging times

For information about the charging times: g See Owner’s Manual.
The charging duration can vary depending on the following factors:
Current-carrying capacity of the electrical socket used (domestic electrical socket or industrial electrical outlet)
Country-specific power grid voltage and current
Settings for the charging current limit on the control unit
Fluctuations in the grid voltage
Ambient temperature of vehicle and charger.
Charging times can be longer at temperatures at the upper and lower extremes of the permitted ambient temperature.
Refer to chapter “Technical Data“ on page 25.
Temperature of the high-voltage battery and control unit
Passenger compartment precooling/heating activated

Information Due to different national power grid systems, various cable variants are available. This may result in the full charging performance not being available. Further information is available from your authorized Porsche dealer.

Starting charging

Insert the plug into the electrical socket. All light indicators briefly light up red.
Insert the vehicle plug in the vehicle charge port.
Charging starts automatically.

Charging Current Limit
The operator control unit automatically detects the voltage and available current. The charging current limit can be used to set whether charging occurs at full or half charging power (100% or 50% ). The last charging current set is not saved. After the power plug is disconnected or if a power failure occurs, the charging power is automatically set to 50%. To prevent the electrical installation from overheating, the charging current is limited to 50% when delivered.
