New Taycan owner here!
I finally figured out how to utilize the 3yr free 30-min charging feature. Here are the steps:
1- Download both the Porsche Connect & Charging apps
2- Register your car on Porsche connect & provide your payment info (don't worry you will not be charged as long as you stick to the charging limitations provided by Porsche)
3- Use the charging app to locate a charging station (proximity or whatever). Also use the app to choose the power (150kw, 350kw, etc...) and plug type (Combo, CHAdeMO, etc...). The charging app shows you the number and availability of the chargers that you requested at the specified location
4- Once you arrive at your charger, use the charging app to choose the location and the charger that your are at (For example: DS-1, DS-2, etc...). See images #3 & 4 for examples. The names or numbers should be on the charger itself. This is very important
5- Once you pick the charger you are at from the app you should see a screen that looks like image #5
5- Plug in the cable into the car
6- The charger will ask for billing information. Use the "Order for a fee" button on the charging app to start charging. The charger should respond with a screen like image #1
7- As the screen says, billing will only occur if you exceed 30 mins. With NO WARNING. So be careful to stop it before or just at 30 mins if you do not want to pay
8- While charging you can monitor the battery in your car (Image #2). Or you can use the Connect App to track battery charge and charging time
Free free to ask any questions please. Enjoy!
