PORSCHE MACAN EV PLUG & CHARGE RESTORED

EV Channels Review

This video addresses a critical issue encountered by the reviewer: the sudden failure of the Plug & Charge functionality on their Porsche Macan EV during a road trip. Initially, the reviewer tweeted about the problem, only to discover the setting had been disabled within the vehicle's system. Porsche North America reached out, suggesting a recent app update might be the culprit. The core of the problem was traced to a disabled 'Plug & Charge' setting in the car's menu, which was likely turned off by a software update. After re-enabling the setting and confirming a valid certificate, the Plug & Charge functionality was successfully restored at an Electrify America station, achieving a charging speed of 173 kW. The reviewer expresses frustration with the unexpected software glitch but is ultimately pleased that the issue was resolved, highlighting the need for owners to be aware of such potential settings changes.
