The offside socket is the combined Type 2 and CCS inlet and takes rapid charging as well; the nearside one handles AC only. The practical effect is that your charge point always has an inlet on its own side of the car, so you can buy for the shorter run rather than the longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePorsche GB puts it exactly: \"AC charging is possible on both sides of the vehicle\" but \"DC fast charging is only possible on the passenger side, where the designated fast-charging port is located\". On a right hand drive car the passenger side is the nearside, so the combined AC and DC port sits on the nearside front wing and the offside one is AC only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOne honest caveat on which flank carries DC\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe would rather flag this than pretend it is settled. Porsche GB, EV Database UK pages and a UK owner all put the DC port on the nearside of a right hand drive car. Two other sources, Zapmap and an Australian technical fact sheet, place it on the offside, most likely reproducing left hand drive data without localising it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe port end is not in dispute: both are in the front wings. If the DC flank matters to you, check your own car before ordering. For home AC charging it does not matter at all, because either port takes the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/type-2-to-type-2-charging-cables\"\u003eType 2 lead\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAt home it is 7.4 kW, upgrade or not\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty two kilowatts is a public charging number, not a home one. The option needs three phases at 32 amps each; a house offers one phase at 32 amps, so the car draws 7.4 kW whether the upgrade is fitted or not. Buy it for the office car park, not the drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 22 kW charger was optional on cars to 2023 and was reportedly dropped for the 2024 facelift, with dealers now fitting 11 kW units where a 22 kW one has failed. Owners on the UK forums worked the sums out for themselves years ago: twenty two divided by three is 7.33 kW, and that is what one phase of it gives. The 19.2 kW charger upgrade was a North American thing and never came here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBatteries and rapid charging\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePre facelift cars had a 79.2 kWh Performance Battery, 71 usable, or a 93.4 kWh Performance Battery Plus with 83.7 usable, charging at 225 or 270 kW. The 2024 facelift grew both: 89 kWh gross with 82.3 usable, and 105 kWh gross with 97 usable, and lifted the DC peak to 320 kW with ten to eighty per cent in about eighteen minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWLTP range across the facelift range runs from 329 miles on a Turbo Cross Turismo to 434 on the rear drive saloon. A pre facelift rear drive car on the smaller pack was homologated at 268 miles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 82.3 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 97.0 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 32A at 7.4 kW, a UK home charge point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 16A at 3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin from a socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe arithmetic is simple: kWh over kW, 13 per cent on top for losses, rounded to the nearest quarter hour. The miles column uses 3.5 miles per kWh, which holds up in winter as well as summer. The two figures cover the facelift Performance Battery and Performance Battery Plus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnly one port can be open at a time, so there is no charging from both flanks at once. That is a limitation nobody is going to notice in practice.
