![]() Therefore, most Taycan owners are going to elect to go for faster charging at home. That would be Level 2 charging. It can take somewhere between 75 to 85 hours to fully charge a Porsche Taycan from a Level 1 source. The Taycan has a very big battery, either the 93.4 kWh battery or the smaller battery (the 79.2 kWh battery). You’ll get somewhere around 1 kW of energy delivered to the vehicle per hour, so you can multiply that out depending on which battery you have. Level 1 charging is when you charge your electric vehicle from a regular 110 or 120-volt household socket. The Taycan comes with an adapter that allows you to plug in your Taycan to a regular outlet. It will charge your car, but it will take a long time. The Wallbox Pulsar Plus is one of the smartest, smallest, neatest home EV charging stations on the market, available at a fairly competitive cost. In terms of connectivity and connecting to the cloud, the unit can connect to your mobile via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. If you want to make use of a cheap night rate terrace, you can set the unit to charge within specific hours. There’s an app available on the Apple store and the Google Play store where you can control the unit, change various settings and control your charging schedule. It’s easily recognizable what the unit’s doing at any time. When it’s charging, it has different colors to show whether it’s charging, waiting to charge, or if there’s an error. Hardwiring the unit is highly recommended by the company. The Pulsar Plus 48-amp EV Charger is able to deliver 11.5 kW of power output which is more than the maximum 11 kW that the Taycan can accept. Recently, Wallbox made some revisions to the unit, which allowed them to lower their manufacturing costs. ![]() This Wallbox Pulsar Plus, a neat small unit, has been around for a while as well. In Europe, they’ve built a good reputation in the industry for building quality products. ![]() Wallbox is a European electric vehicle charging company that has been around for a long time. EV chargers supply a tremendous amount of power to your car practically every day and quite often while you’re sleeping, so you don’t want to have any serious electrical problems at your home. We recommend that a qualified licensed electrician do all of your electric vehicle supply equipment installation or modification work. If you want to take advantage of the full power of the ChargePoint Home Flex, you must remove the NEMA 14-50 or 6-50 plug and either hardwire it to a dedicated 60-amp circuit or have a licensed electrician install a NEMA 14-60 outlet on a dedicated 60 amp circuit and attach a NEMA 14-60 plug to the ChargePoint Home Flex. However, a traditional NEMA 6-50 or 14-50 outlet should be installed on a 50-amp circuit and can only deliver 40 amps to the car. The Porsche Taycan can accept 48 amps of power. The Home Flex will charge anywhere from 16 amps to 50 amps depending on what you’re setting it to and how you’ve got hooked up. They also offer ChargePoint Home Flex which is their newest, fastest, flexible and future-proof home charger. They operate one of the largest public charging networks in the country. ![]() We need to note that it’s specific for the North American market because charging in Europe is slightly different.ĬhargePoint is one of the leading providers of EV charging solutions. We’re going to pick the best powerful third-party home chargers for the Porsche Taycan. In addition to that, the Porsche Mobile Charger Connect is way more expensive than the thirty-party chargers. You don’t need to buy Porsche’s charging equipment to charge the Taycan because any Level 2 charger that you can buy in North America has the same connector which is the J1772. The Porsche Taycan can accept up to 11 kW of power from a Level 2 source, so the charging equipment that Porsche provides for home charging cannot deliver the full power that the Taycan can accept. If you wanted to charge your vehicle at full power, you’d have to get a more powerful third-party smart charger, like the ChargePoint Home Flex, the Pulsar Plus 48 by Wallbox or the Tesla Wall Connector.
