b b Charging infrastructure suitable for Plug &
Charge.
b b Contract with charging provider includes Plug &
Charge.
1. Open the charge port door.
2. Insert vehicle plug into the charge port.
The vehicle plug is locked and the charging
process starts automatically. Depending on the
charging infrastructure, the charging process
may take a few seconds to start.
Renewing the charging contract certificate
manually
Following conclusion of a charging contract that in-
cludes Plug & Charge in the public area, the appro-
priate charging contract certificate will be installed
in the vehicle on first registration at an E-station
suitable for Plug & Charge. The charging contract
certificate in the vehicle is automatically renewed as
soon as the previous charging contract expires and
the validity of the new charging contract begins.
If a new charging contract that includes Plug &
Charge is used before the previous charging contract
loses its validity, the previous charging contract
certificate must be deleted manually.
e Reset the system to factory settings.
Important vehicle settings (e.g. configuration of
Porsche Connect Services) may be lost.
> Please see chapter "Vehicle settings" on
page 234.
Charging times
The charging power levels and charging times de-
pend on various factors that may significantly in-
crease the charging times compared to the specified
values:
– Available power from the electrical
infrastructure.
– Customer-specific installation, e.g. electrical
socket used.
– Settings for the charging current limit on the
electric vehicle supply equipment.
– Fluctuations in the power grid voltage.
– Ambient temperature for the vehicle and charg-
ing equipment.
– Temperature of the high-voltage battery and
control unit.
– Charge level of the high-voltage battery.
– Type and age of the high-voltage battery.
– Passenger compartment temperature precool-
ing/heating.
Charging type Charging time
Alternating current (AC) approx. 8–9 h
with 11 kW from 0 % up to
100 %
Direct current (DC) with approx. 93 min.
50 kW from 5 % up to 80
%
approx. 22.5 min.
Direct current (DC) with
maximum charging power
from 5 % up to 80 % under
optimum conditions (CCS
fast-charging pedestal
with >270 kW, >850 V,
battery temperature
86 °F (30 °C) to
95 °F (35 °C) and initial
charge state of 5 %)
The amount of energy taken from the power grid is
greater than the amount of energy stored when
charging the high-voltage battery. This is because
some energy is physically lost during the charging
process and because energy is also used to control
the temperature of the high-voltage battery.
For physical and chemical reasons, the charging
speed decreases when the charge level approaches
100 %.
The excessive use of rapid charging stations (DC)
will increase charging times in the long term.
e A maximum charging power of 50 kW is recom-
mended for regular charging with direct current
(DC).
e Use of alternating current (AC) is recommended
when charging the battery at home. Use an in-
dustrial electrical outlet (AC) instead of a do-
mestic electrical outlet to charge the battery
more quickly and efficiently.
Emergency release of the charge
port door
If the charging cradle is faulty, the charge port door
can be opened manually.
e Do not perform an emergency release on the
charge port doors on both sides simultaneously
or if one charge port door has already opened
correctly. The opposite charge port door will be
locked automatically.
Emergency release of the manual charge port
door
After performing an emergency release on the man-
ual charge port door, the vehicle can be charged with
alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).
