Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Open My Porsche, log in and go to Map.
- 02
Enter the location, tap Show charging stations and select the desired station.
- 03
Tap the station name and address, choose the correct plug type and select the matching EVSE-ID marked with the mobile-phone icon.
- 04
Tap the EVSE-ID to start authentication, follow the station instructions and confirm charging begins after connecting the cable.
Important limits
- An EVSE-ID without the phone icon cannot be activated from the app and needs another supported authentication method.
- The phone needs current My Porsche software and a strong data connection; station status and access can change.
Quick checks.
- ✓If app authentication fails, confirm Porsche Charging Service is active and that the exact EVSE-ID belongs to the supported network.
- ✓If the station does not begin charging after authentication, reseat the connector and follow the charger screen or use an accepted card or payment method.
