Per PCNA customer service, the warranty for Porsche brand EVSEs is two years (if installed by Porsche or Porsche authorized installer). But read 2nd message exchange below. Sent to PCNA customer service: Please send me a copy of the warranty for Porsche Wall Charger Connect. This page...

PCNA customer service needs to up its game for executive replies to its customers, per @Jonathan S. method. ;)

"The problem is that the software is all written by 150 different companies and they don't talk to each other," Farley said. "So even though it says Ford on the front, I actually have to go to Bosch to get permission to change their seat control software. Even if I had a high-speed modem in the...

Electric vehicle “charging deserts,” places where electric-vehicle recharging stations and the number of charge ports are in short supply, stretch across states, largely divided by economic and racial lines, according to new analysis by Bumper.com. Looking at a range of fiscal and societal...

Gas- and diesel-powered vehicles catch fire way more often than EVs, but you wouldn’t know that from the headlines. https://www.motortrend.com/features/you-are-wrong-about-ev-fires/

I wonder if algorithms for reporting battery 'SoH' estimates might also be designed to boost SoH in early years and get more realistic as the battery ages. Tesla years ago began exaggerating its vehicles’ potential driving distance – by rigging their range-estimating software. The company...

@annieland Note that when you enter a route or destination in the nav unit, the charging planner assumes you start your trip at the car's current SoC. So if you plan to start your trip at 95% SoC but the car's current SoC is less than that, it bases charging stops on the lesser SoC. That's why...

Couple of other Taycan nav unit tips: Assume you have pre-planned your trip, with destination and two preferred charging stops prior to destination. To enter your plan as a route in the nav unit: First enter the destination. Wait for nav unit to add its recommended charging stops to the route...

@annieland No matter what charging stops are in your actual road trip plan, use the EA sites map to locate all the EA sites along your route. Add them all as "favorites" in your nav unit. Make sure they are added labeled as charging sites (showing KW, etc.), not just their locations. Then...

Welcome to the forum. I have provided some links below that mainly are links to forum posts and threads. A couple of additional suggestions: --It would be best if you get your Taycan added to your MyPorsche account before you depart. A Porsche dealer should be familiar with how to do this. There...

Note: The P3 group report used US EPA amounts for EV consumption. For Porsche Taycan it used 41 kwh per 100 miles, or about 2.4 miles per kwh. If real-world Taycan consumption is less than EPA amount, "recharged range" after 20 minutes of charging would be more than 153 miles. It's good to see...

The final ranking of the P3 Charging Index US It leaves the Lucid Air as the vehicle best suited to long-range journeys with a CI of 1.04 across all categories. Its average charging power of 147 kW was outweighed by its low consumption, resulting in 208 recharged miles after 20 minutes. The...

Car and Driver 75 mph, Moloughney 70 mph. I don't know whether that is enough to account for the "non-alinement", or not. One nice thing about Moloughney's tests is you can watch portions of them on video. Also, seems like defining and measuring "real world highway range" has the same lack of...

The report deals with repairs caused by accidents that result in insurance claims. I edited the title to reflect this.

The research, published by Thatcham Research and funded by the Government’s innovation agency, Innovate UK, highlights the technical and practical differences between battery electric vehicle (BEVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle insurance claims processes. Despite newer BEVs...

Ever heard the word “inverter” thrown around but you don’t really know what it means? You’re in luck. Lucid Motors may be experiencing a little financial trouble lately, but the technology that underpins its electric vehicles is some of the best—if not the best—in the industry. Not only is the...

Have to keep an eye on you Mancs.
