Taycan - Public Charging Cable
Discussion
Is the Taycon Configurator - Public Charging Cable (Mode 3), Type 2, mode 3 charging cable for charging at AC public charging pedestals (4.5-metre length)
Is it a Single Phase or 3Phase Cable? - asked the local dealership, they don't know!
About to order a Porsche Taycan and can’t seem to get a clear answer on charging cables.
Understand for the 50kw and above chargers they are all tethered no need for a cable.
For Home Charging - 7.2kw a 32 Amp Single Phase cable is all that’s needed.
For 11kw and 22kw Public Chargers – am I correct in stating you need a 3Phase Cable in order to charge at those rates? If that is the case can you use a 3Phase cable also at home in a standard 7.2kw Charger (EO Mini – but no 3 phase electricity at home) i.e. is the cable backwards compatible to 7.2 kw.
Therefore, other than cost of a 3Phase, is there any downside in ordering one as your main cable for home and in the car for Public Charging on the move. Where I park at work there are 22kw chargers.
And last question – any particular recommendations for a cable to purchase?
