What Chargers Can a Porsche Taycan Use?
There are 3 charging levels available to electric vehicles. It’s important to understand which charging level your electric vehicle is capable of handling. The Porsche Taycan is equipped to charge on all three levels. Check out each of the available charging options and connectors that can be used with the Porsche Taycan.
Level 1
The first charging option known as the Level 1 EVSE is included with the purchase of most electric vehicles including the Taycan. The Level 1 provides two to five miles of range per hour and is compatible with a common 120-volt outlet. One of the great benefits of using the Level 1 charger is the fact that you can bring it with you while traveling around Chino, Chino Hills, Rancho Cucamonga, and beyond.
Level 2
Level 2 charging is the better option for keeping your Taycan charged all day. Usually installed in a garage or driveway, the Level 2 requires access to a 240V AC outlet. To install a Level 2 charger you’ll need to have access to an electrical circuit of 20 to 200 amps. This charger can add anywhere between 10 and 60 miles of range to your vehicle per hour.
DC Fast Charging
Level 3 charging also known as DC Fast Charging is the fastest and most powerful of the three charging options. Luckily the Taycan is able to take advantage of the Level 3 charging capabilities. These fast charging stations can be found in places like shopping center parking lots, office complexes, and rest stops.
Connectors
The Taycan is equipped with two charging ports, one on the driver side for the J1772 AC plug and the other on the passenger side for the CCS Combo plug:
- J1772 AC Charging Plug: most common plug for electric vehicle charging, based on the SAE standard, AC power supply only, charging power up to 19.2 kW, and can be used at home or on the road
- CCS Combo Charging Plug: fastest way to charge your Taycan, based on SAE standard, supplies DC power to battery without the need to be converted, charging power up to 350 kW, only for usage on the road
