The Porsche Taycan is equipped with a 12-volt Lithium-Ion battery which is automatically charged and maintained by
the High-Voltage (HV) traction battery and battery electronics. When parking the vehicle for long periods, it is
recommended to leave the vehicle connected to suitable AC electric vehicle supply equipment (the Porsche Mobile
Charger or Mobile Charger Connect, for example) via the charge port on either the driver's or passenger's side. Taycan
vehicles cannot be charged using the Charge-o-mat Pro maintainer available from Porsche Tequipment.
Instructions for leaving the vehicle parked or in storage for a period of up to 3 months:
1. Charge the main HV “traction” battery to approximately 50% before parking or storage
2. Inflate tires to minimize flat spots during storage: 51 to 58 psi (3.5 to 4.0 bar) at 68 °F (20 °C)
3. Place the vehicle in Park and use the central display to deactivate the electric parking brake
o
Block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling
o
Settings -> Vehicle -> Parking brake
4. Ensure all Charging Timers are deactivated via the central display
5. Configure and activate the “General charging profile”
o
Set the high-voltage battery to charge to 85% to reduce aging and wear and tear of the high-voltage
battery
o
Select the “Optimize Charging” radio button
o
Check the box to activate “General charging profile”
6. Close windows, front and rear lids and doors
7. Switch off the vehicle
8. Connect the vehicle to suitable Level 2 electric vehicle supply equipment (the Porsche Mobile Charger or
Mobile Charger Connect, for example)
9. Lock the vehicle using the key remote
10. Store the vehicle key at least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the vehicle
11. Avoid repeated or prolonged use of the Porsche Connect smartphone app. Establishing a connection between
the app and the vehicle can lead to a discharged 12-volt battery
12. If possible, ambient temperature for the vehicle should be between approx. 32 and 68 °F (0 - 20 °C) during
storage
If it is not possible to connect the vehicle to suitable electric vehicle supply equipment
Follow the instructions detailed above, with the following exception:
1. Check the high-voltage battery at least every three months and ensure it never falls below 20%; recharge the
vehicle if necessary
If leaving the vehicle parked or in storage for a period greater than 3 months, contact an authorized Porsche dealer for
further information and advice.
