Can we charge from a Porsche Wall Charger Connect?

[Blight_50]

Hello everyone
Has anyone here experimented charging an i5 with a Porsche Wall Charger Connect? I'm still working through all of this, but I heard some BMW models deemed it incompatible. Just wondering whether anyone has heard of this or if it goes without any problems! Thanks!

So far, I’ve not heard any issues about it.

@Blight_50, I haven't personally tried that. I read on other forums that such compatibility can sometimes be hit or miss with BMW models. It depends on the software and charging standards. You don't know if it works fine until you try it, haha! Before that, I would recommend asking both BMW and Porsche if they can confirm this.
You could also check the specs on your charger to see if it meets the i5's charging requirements.
What do you think? Are you going to do that?

I’ve seen a few mention that compatibility can be hit or miss, especially when mixing different brands like Porsche and BMW. I guess it makes sense with all the charging standards out there. it’s not always as simple as just plugging in, right?

I think I’ll reach out to both BMW and Porsche to see if they can give me a more definite answer. Better safe than sorry! I’ll also check the charger specs, to make sure it matches up with the i5’s requirements.

Honestly, I’m tempted to just give it a shot and see what happens, but I’ll do a bit more homework first. Have you heard of anyone else trying this setup?

Unfortunately for you, I haven't! But in case I hear anything, I will let you know.
