Thanks for your informations! 👍 Here in Germany we are very happy to have a good filled charging map with a whole bunch of providers and prepaid options. If you charge at home you have to pay between 29 cent to 40 cent per kWh. Public charging is between 46 cent and 1.09 Euro depending on the provider or charging service plus some taking a minute price extra. So the challenge for every EV owner is to find the best deal for the use case. In Germany we have the TH-cam channel *Nextmove* who informs everyone on every Friday evening at 6 pm about all news in Emobility and the charge prices of all operators. If you only can use public charging it's not really cheap at all because you have to look on the prices weekly and use more than 6 providers and 10 different apps to get good prices! That's not the way to get Emobility pushed forward. We have to get roaming solutions like on cell phones! Hope that the governments and the EU makes it easier to charge. Have a nice day! ✌️👍🙋🏼♂️
Some very interesting info there and great to hear what's going on in other countries... I have to say the top end at €1.09 is VERY expensive, but I did hear Germany was even more expensive than the UK. Same problem though... Simply too many variables, and quite frankly it shouldn't be like that... Fingers crossed it gets better! Thanks for the comment!
This is very useful. I am about to take my Taycan to Scotland from the midlands for the first time tomorrow, using only the PCS. If it's well planned should not be a problem at Porsche chargers or Ionity.....if they are not oversubscribed at arrival...
@@TABonTV Hi TAB, Well back from Scotland and was about 800 miles in toto. The charging was a dream. Charged at Ionity and Porsche Centres only with the 350kW filter on both the Porsche App and ZapMap. Never had to wait and car charged flawlessly. It is however remarkable how slow the charging was if the battery was not warmed. I have now asked 3 Porsche Pros at the centres how best to prewarm the battery and there is not a straightforward answer. If travelling on a long trip and a charging stop has been planned by the app then battery gets up to 35-40 degrees C and it took about 240kW immediately. If however you want to charge from cold it only takes about 60kW initially gradually getting up to 120kW as the charger warms the battery! Ionity was true to its word and charged me 30p per kW all in. The Porsche Centres however were a bit of a shock as I was paying 31p per kW and 44p per minute. A bit of simple maths will show that charging at a Porsche Centre with a cold battery taking only 60kW will use up a lot of 44p per minutes to get a battery charged and thus in this scenario the Ionity model is much cheaper. Hope all that diatribe makes some sense and is useful to your viewers. Regards Anthony Roberts

Good to hear you're getting some use out of your Taycan. Would be great to hear a follow up as to how it went, hopefully it went smoothly!

Hi,
I am looking at getting a Porsche. What’s the average cost to charge the car?
Really depends on how / where you're charging. Varies massively.
