Reddit What is in a Porsche charging station? Netzgemeinde mocks through this photo

A Reddit contribution with the photo of an open charging station in the noble brand led to numerous comments about the German engineering art. You can see a simple charger in a plastic housing.

Admittedly, if the wall box were available from another manufacturer and at a cheaper price, nobody would be interested in their interior or even make fun of it. The first contribution by Blazesquall in the Reddit Thread gets to the point: "It looks like a weatherproof housing for a charging plug".

Including the comment by the user Miguel3403, who also uploaded the picture: “I’ve always been surprised why the chargers look so big in Porsche dealers. Now I know that only the actual network adapter is connected to an industrial plug box inside.“While the findings, which had only been neutral, were, user A_velis criticizes that the charging plug should be weatherproof, everything else would make no sense. This cannot be denied or confirmed, because on the Porsche website the connector is only described for "use at home", an information on the IP protection class is missing.

Both ironic and positive voices from the community

The further discussion is about the concept of a hidden charger funny and user right_stage_8167 wonders what is in the second "charging plug". This is followed by the amusing comments such as "maybe a third" or even "that ends with a USB-C plug". The user Paulwesterberg, according to his profile owner of a Tesla Model S, is ironically brings up the price argument: "Only $ 815 (716 euros) for a chic plastic box to store the mobile charger".

What another user comments on: “To make it short, that’s Porsche. Haha". User Carbonmach, on the other hand, sees it as a clever marketing move by Porsche, a "public" charging station including a logo only with a standard charger. The usefulness of the Porsche chargers indicates users Ddephor: “This is a good solution. If there is already a power socket, you do not need a separate installation by an electrician and can also use the socket for other devices. However, it shouldn’t be a Porsche charger, a cheaper one would do it too ". Arrived at this point of the discussion, let’s take a look at the German Porsche website.

After a short research there, one has to say that the photo shown is actually only a housing, the so-called "loading dock", which serves to store and the weather protection of the loader, the Porsche Mobile Charger Connect. However, as already described, the prices are pretty steep. The storage box alone costs 716 euros, but this does not yet contain any charger. Its price is 1.309 euros, but is at least available with cables of different lengths without additional costs. If you are looking for a wall box for your electric car, have a look at the Efahrer Wallbox test 2021. The best models of the ADAC test are listed there and can be ordered directly online.

  1. I installed a wall box
    to let. Actually, the cable for the powerful can would have been enough, which I for 500 EUR … I bought and always have with me. Loads as well on a three -phase socket as the wall box with 11 kW. But the Wallbox is funded and many have had it installed even though an electric vehicle is not yet planned, let alone there is. That is why the funding has expired this year because of the high demand. This is why wall boxes are not available for months. I then had to install one without funding. So you don’t have to be surprised about the prices. When they are encouraged and nobody looks at the price.

  2. Comparison of the eutos dubious
    Best e cars with the greatest range, Tesla Premium Model S with 88.T € tip 230kmh acceleration 4sec with VW ID 4 or Mustang Audi compared these vehicles have very high consumption due to poor CW value remover they are reduced. Tesla Model 3 is not mentioned at all as the worldwide, mostly a buying car in sports car quality for 1/3 of the comparable Porsche Tycan or 50% of the Audi Etron GT. It is recognizable for connoisseurs from E cars that cars from German production are presented. By accessories of many € 1000, equipment can be spiced up, but more than model 3 or y also has less reach has lower acceleration and reducing at 160kmh so that consumption increases through poor C values

  3. The Tesla Model 3 come from China
    There is no added value in Germany. In addition, only a tablet with which everything is displayed and served. Compared to my ID3 it is a handicraft. Have you ever experienced a Tesla with a top speed on the highway? What do you want with the performance? Headup display, adaptive chassis? There are many reasons to choose Tesla. At least I have that.

  4. Can
    It is that e-car owners are ripped off by these chargers or wall boxes or whatever, and the state also promotes this? That would indeed be a scandal. Whether there are lines of different lengths or not.

  6. Criticism unjustified
    The actual charging system is optically unsightly. That is why Porsche offers an overpriced box and also sells it as such. So no scandal!

  7. Honestly…
    What did you imagine what is in such a wall box? A green tree? In principle, a three -phase connection is sufficient outside and then the corresponding charging cable with charge controller for three -phase current. This is exactly what is in a wall box. In addition, a controller that can be remotely controlled by the electricity provider and the consumed electricity. That’s it overall. The prices for this are hopelessly covered like almost everything in e-mobility. But this fact is nothing special either. You could also put the charge controller into a weatherproof plastic box and switch on an external power meter in front of the three -phase box. Wouldn’t be on Porsche then. The function would be the same.

  8. completely correct
    All wall boxes are equally structured by the principle. On a hatchiene you have a shooter that switches through the current, an FI, which also recognizes error flows, as well as a unit that communicates with the E car. And if you can connect an E stove, you can also connect a wall box. Only in Germany is it made of the Enterprise spaceship.
