In PCM, open Home > Charge > Overview and select the three-dots menu.
- 03
Choose Activate Plug & Charge.
- 04
At a compatible Electrify America station, connect the charging cable and allow the car and station to exchange authorization automatically.
- 05
Confirm the session begins; if a certificate has not yet been generated, complete the Porsche Charging Service setup before retrying.
Important limits
- Plug & Charge requires an active Porsche Charging Service contract and a compatible charging station.
- Porsche specifies Cluster 33 software with the 11-kW charger; 22-kW chargers require HW H14 and VR15 SW 1254.
- A factory reset removes user data including the installed Plug & Charge certificate.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the PCM option is missing, Porsche says the vehicle software needs an update through a Porsche Center.
- ✓If a station fails authorization, authenticate manually before plugging in or temporarily enable Compatibility Mode before connecting the cable.
- ✓To disable the feature, return to Home > Charge > Overview > three dots and select Deactivate Plug & Charge.
