New hybrid Porsche 911 is coming
On the way back home from North Shore I thought I’d charge up for Newport trip tomorrow. Stopped at Assembly EA station. There were a swarm of KIA EVs waiting, even though the app shows 1 charger was available…
Pulled up EVgo app and found a very high power ChargePoint station nearby… at Ford Dealer (I use that dealer for my truck 🤣) 320kw - wow! I preconditioned the battery so it was nice and toasty and ready to accept maximum charge. So I drove there. And it worked so well. Though it’s very expensive - greedy car dealers!!
The charging curve was impressive on Taycan. Started at 40% SoC, pulling in 282kw maximum. Still pulling in over 200kw at 72%. This car is a beast.

First time charging EV in my life LOL
Taycan Cross Turismo x Tesla Supercharger in Provincetown
Started with 57% state of charge and battery temperature never reached optimal range during the 19 mins of charging 🤣 but it reached 150kw within 10 seconds. The supercharger is capable of 250kw delivery and Taycan is capable of 350kw charging. Unfortunately we didn’t reach the fastest charging speed on either of these.
57% to 85% in 19 mins. Not bad. This is enough to drive one way between Boston and Provincetown. The location could be better - it’s a bit too far out from town, I bet the nearby Harbor hotel can set up a bar to accommodate (make money from) EV owners.
At least it’s only steps away from a beautiful beach and great views of the Pilgrim Monument.

Needed to make a quick charging stop in Eastham because I forgot to charge to 100% before leaving for Provincetown, and the extra drag from the bike rack made the efficiency worse. Obviously the bike design is not optimized for the aerodynamic when it's sideways 😜
I could charge near Ptown long enough so I can make it home, but 1) Ptown's DC charger is a Tesla supercharger, as much as I don't want give money to Musk, it is also not 800V output, meaning the Taycan only takes around 140-150kw, which is not so much different from the 120kw I can get from this ChargePoint. 2) as I don't drive much, I need to take advantage of the Electrify America free charging when I have the opportunity.
So a quick 9 mins charge from 11% to 22% and we got on the way to the Electrify America in Hyannis. Arrived with 13% SoC and got the free juice to 85%.
