No matter the form factor, the receptacle should be a FRU. So if Porsche made the decision to switch to NACS it would just be a design on a new receptacle that fits in the existing CCS space. Since NACS is smaller than CCS it should be doable. Yes, I’m oversimplifying but you get my drift...
Well, I was kinda half-serious because I mean come on with the damn thing already. But yes I know that gaffer’s tape & such are the livery of teh mules.
The electric Boxster’s supposed to be a MY 2025. This article talks about unveiling a “vision” and I certainly hope that they’re past the “vision” phase for the e718 at this point.
Will need to reconfigure the EVSE setup in that garage bay as I was planning on it having Taycan-esque L & R charging ports. But, I think I actually like the location shown better anyway

Unfortunately I wear a Swiss chrono on my left & a watch-looking Garmin Vivoactive 4S on my right because I can’t find a fitness “band” with the same 24/7 monitoring functions.
Indeed, an IWC Ingeniuer Chronograph Sport has been on my wishlist for quite some time, though I doubt I’ll ever find one priced that I’m willing to shell out for.
