What non Porsche level 2 home chargers are you using?
I am curious if there are any good level 2 chargers out there beside the mobile chargers from Porsche….

EVSE’s are very simple devices really - they only do two things:
I recomend most any thing other than the Porsche EVSE for north america. the design and goal of the J-1772 charging system is that EV charging is not vehicle manufacturer specific and that pretty much you can expect any EVSE to charge any other EV regardless of who makes the EV charger (EVSE) or the Vehicle (if it complies with J-1772 protocol). |
I’m using Tesla Gen 3 chargers.

random L2 chargers I’ve encountered at hotels - I’ve forgotten the brands.

ClipperCreek are my favorite high quality choice.

In addition to what Dave listed, EVSEs can also do safety checks for things like ground faults on the supply side. Some that have plugs on the supply side also have temp sensors built in to the plugs so they can detect a poor connection before it melts the receptacle.
Clipper Creek has great reputation, and I've used them a number of times. They make a wide range of products. For my Volt, I use a Tesla unit - modified by cutting off the Tesla plug and replaced with a J1772 plug. That was done almost six years ago and works great. If I were to do it today, I'd keep the Tesla unit stock and buy a TeslaTap adapter. Some really old EVSEs don't fully implement J1772 correctly. One in particular I know of came with early Nissan Leafs, and have compatibility issues with non-Leafs. But these were low power 120V units which I'd imagine would be of little interest to a Taycan owner. |
2 Tesla Gen 3 on a 100 A circuit - allows for 40a charging two cars simultaneously. Use the Tesla tap adapter. Looks great and works flawlessly.

Ordered this one up from Home Depot, using it, and have not looked back.

I use a dumb charger - Grizzl -E, with the cold weather chord, highest UL weather rating for outdoor use. I never understood why folks spend $$ on smart chargers, when the car can control all charging aspects. It is a 50amp charger with settings that can go be set lower if required, either at the factory or in home by changing the DIP switch. It has worked flawlessly for me for the last three months - never a hiccup.
