“The Charging Planner is our assistance system for fast travel,” says Thomas Grünter, Charging Project Manager at Porsche and therefore the point of contact when it comes to the topic of energy supply for electric vehicles.
The system is a feature of the My Porsche app and the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) of all-electric models, where it’s integrated into the navigation. When activated, the intelligent tool will plan charging stops for the route selected so that you can reach your destination with the fewest and shortest charging stops possible. The user’s driving profile is one of the factors curated when it comes to estimating energy requirements with precision.
The Charging Planner’s database includes fast-charging locations with a charging capacity of more than 50 kW, but drivers can also filter suggestions to search for fast chargers with at least 250 kW. Charging stations can also be according to providers. The system comes standard with a preference for fast chargers that belong to the Porsche Charging Service (PCS).
The driver can also select the desired state of charge upon arrival at the fast charger or at the final destination. The Porsche Charging Planner can therefore be adapted to any journey and makes route planning a breeze.
