Does OVO Charge Anytime work with Porsche Taycan 4s cross turismo 22?

Thank you Blastoise186.

Are there any disadvantages to direct to vehicle mode.?

The only one I know of is that you have to set up every single EV individually and it only works with compatible ones. Otherwise… Not much I can think of.

What happens if the charger is compatible (i.e. Ohme epod)?

If both are compatible, we (as forum volunteers) tend to recommend using the charger with Charge Anytime as it’s then possible to get the Charge Anytime rate for any EV you connect to the charger. :)

Thank you for this. The Ohme isn’t compatible with Porsche via API, so I’m wondering what happens in this instance and what the user experience may be?

The Ohme manual says when API integration isn’t possible, a schedule to just add a fixed battery % should be used - I’m wondering how this works with when integrated to OVO Anytime?

The Charger shouldn’t need an API with the EV. It uses the charger cable to talk to the EV instead. If you link the Charger to Charge Anytime, you can use the charger app to manage everything, don’t worry about the EV. :)

Simply set the charger to have time schedules that work for you and Charge Anytime does the rest. You can’t have Ohme Labs AND OVO Charge Anytime control the charge at the same time anyway as they’d clash. You have to pick one or the other.

Grateful if someone can confirm eligibility criteria for a Porsche Taycan

My understanding is that only the EV must be compatible, not both the EV and the charger.

My configuration is an internet connected 2021 Taycan 4s using the Porsche Supplied Mobile Connect charger, supplied by a 32a commando socket.

Hey @D00 ,

You can indeed use that Taycan with Charge Anytime. If you have a compatible Charger, that works too but in your case only the EV is so that’s all you need.

Please be aware that using a Commando Socket isn’t recommended, nor is it officially supported with Charge Anytime. It may work in the short term, but I strongly recommend that you get a proper EV Charger at some point.

Thanks for your helpful reply.

Isn’t the Porsche supplied Mobile Connect Charger a proper charger?
