No, once plugged into the vehicle charge port, the charging plug is automatically detected by the vehicle and locked. The charging cable is secured against being disconnected and your Porsche is secured against being driven away.

Approximately 80% of electric vehicle charging takes place at home, so to provide the optimum experience based on your personal requirements, we offer a range of intelligent charging solutions to ensure you can charge your Porsche electric vehicle efficiently and safely from the comfort of your garage or driveway. For the installation of charging hardware at your home, our recommended provider for home installation services, Andersen EV, can support you through this process if you require. Please contact your Porsche Centre for further information.

The Porsche Charging Planner provides support here in helping you to plan charging, e.g. by preconditioning the battery before the charging operation, to achieve an optimal charging performance.

As a result of the comfort functions used in cold weather, e.g. the heating, the range of your vehicle may be reduced. The use of the convenient preconditioning function during charging can minimise this result as the required heating power is provided by the power grid.

At low temperatures, the charging performance of your high-voltage battery can also be restricted. Using the Porsche Charging Planner and the battery preconditioning can however warm the battery before the charging operation and thereby enable optimal charging conditions.

If you have questions regarding the Porsche charging hardware, please contact your Porsche Centre or Porsche Connect support. These support services will advise you, provide support on troubleshooting and initiate required fault resolution processes.

For questions on public charging with the Porsche Charging Service, Porsche Connect Support is available at all times. In addition, your mobility is always guaranteed with Porsche Assistance.
