Porsche Universal Charger (AC) details

Hi,
I'm having the same problem with my own charger: I've never set up any pin and, all of sudden, it started asking for it.
Did anyone find a solution? (beside going back to the dealer)
thanks

Hi everyone, first time Porsche owner. I recently purchased a used 2014 PsEH and love it so far. A larger battery would have been nice though. Does anyone have the stand/ case for the charger that they would like to sell as my car didn't come with it. Thanks.

I have a charger for sale too. It's not new but came with my 2014 and I have used it only once to verify that it works, comes with the 110V and the 3-phase industrial plugs. I had a LEAF before and the old setup works for my PSeH so I never bothered to set up the PUC. Please text me if you are interested. 7703164949

I have a question for anyone buying an e-hybrid who already owns a Tesla Model S/X
I have my Tesla massive plug receptacle in my garage (NEMA 14-50, the tesla standard plug) however I obviously won't be able to plug the Cayenne e-hybrid plug into the same receptacle at the moment. Although it does look like it would fit, I'm not sure I want to test it without the neutral.
So is there pigtail adapter anyone has seen that would be Nema 6-50 receptacle that you plug the Porsche cable into...and on the other end Nema 14-50 plug to go into the wall 14-50 receptacle?
I really don't want to install another 50 amp receptacle in the garage as the Tesla one only gets used ever few days as it has pretty significant range relative to the Cayenne which will need charging daily/every other day but only for an hr or so.
Any advice would be appreciated.

For reference, I have a 14-50 on my wall, and I did not want to pay $200 for the adapter. So I sold mine and use the OPENEVSE that i built for my LEAF. The Porsche side has the J1772 receptacle which is the same as the one on the LEAF, BMW i3 and i7, 918 Spyder, etc. Tesla's do not use J1772.

Porsche Universal Charger can have a NEMA 14-50 plug if you request it from the dealership at time of sale. Post sales, you can buy the NEMA 14-50 adapter for $200.

re: teslas, they can use J1772 chargers. Your tesla comes with a J1772 adapter that allows you to plug it on the end of any J1772 charger cord and then it will fit your Tesla. It's in the charging cable bag.

Back to our topic. If you are ordering a new Panamera/Cayenne, I strongly recommend getting the 7.2kW charger. It's only $800 (cheap) and it cannot be easily retrofitted in the car once it's built.

I apologize if I have never mentioned. I am aware of the adapter. I mentioned that to express my disagreement with engineers who do not believe in standards. After J1772 became a standard in 2009, Tesla may have chosen to not use the standard for the first Model S in 2012 to protect their free charging network. I think it's unnecessary. A simple WIFI or RFID would have been sufficient. Yes the 2008 and up Roadsters would still have to use the adapter but that should be all. I like Tesla, but I don't think this proprietary plug is a good choice. I worked for IBM for many years, and I love IBM, but likewise I knew before it was proven that Micro Channel was wrong. I love SONY too, but look what happened to BETAMAX and Memory Stick. Let's end this hijacked discussion here.

1. Tesla GIVES you a j1772 adapter...so there is literally zero inconvenience or incompatibility between teslas and the 'standard'.
2. None of those products you mentioned were adaptable and that's why they went the way of the dodo bird. No other reason.

take this with a grain of salt as I don't have a hybrid, While I was researching my Panamera purchase I was originally focused on the hybrid, from what I found there are 3rd party solutions for charging that will work just fine, no need to by the factory stuff.
