As you saw in the video, for the first couple days, the EA system did not recognize our car. This meant that my wife had to call EA, while standing next to the charger, and spend about 30 minutes on the phone, getting things to work. Once she did this, the charger did turn on and all went well. Until the next stop. After a couple days of this, we were able to plug and charge, which was fantastic. Keep in my the CCS fast charge port is on the Passenger side, so some chargers will be more difficult to access than others. The cables really are too short, something I had originally discussed in the video, but decided to edit out at the last minute in the interest of time. Also, they want you to lock your car while it is being charged. I recommend you download and register the My Porsche app, Plug Share app, and the ABRP (A Better Route Planner) app.

Please be sure to let us know how your experience was, and congratulations on your new Taycan. I'm confident you will love it like we love ours!

Thanks for the tips! I feel a bit less nervous as my drive home is "only" 400 miles (so on paper I just need one good charge?) & I'll drive by 2 porsche dealerships as a backup plan.

My wife and I sat at the very same booth in the 356 cafe on our visit! Great video!

I didn't actually get anything. I have a 991.2. We were there under different circumstances.

Your "instructor" was way cuter than my wife's. I'm sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing those pics, and for watching my video.
