Safety instructions
Electric shock, short cir-
cuit, re, explosion
Use of a damaged or faulty charging cable or elec-
trical socket, improper use of the charger or failure
to observe the safety instructions can cause short
circuits, electric shocks, explosions, re or burns.
eDo not use a damaged and/or soiled charger.
Check the cable and plug connection for damage
and soiling before use.
eOnly connect the charger to properly installed
and undamaged electrical sockets and fault-free
electrical installations.
eDo not use extension cables, cable reels, multiple
sockets or (travel) adapters.
eDisconnect the charger from the mains supply
during thunderstorms.
eDo not modify or repair any of the electrical com-
ponents.
eNever immerse the charger or plugs in water or
spray them directly with water (e.g. high-pres-
sure cleaning equipment or garden hoses).
eOnly clean the charger when the control unit has
been fully disconnected from the mains supply
and from the vehicle. Use a dry cloth for clean-
ing.
Electric shock, re
Incorrectly installed electrical sockets can cause
electric shock or re when the high-voltage battery
is charged using the vehicle charge port.
eInstallation and initial operation of the electrical
socket for the charger may only be carried out by
a qualied, electrically skilled person. The quali-
ed electrician is fully responsible for compliance
with the relevant standards and regulations.
eThe cross-section of the power cable for the
electrical socket must be dened in accordance
with the wire length and the locally applicable
regulations and standards.
eThe electrical socket used for charging must be
connected to a separately fused electric circuit
that complies with local laws and standards.
eThe charger is intended for use in private and
semi-public areas, e.g. private properties or
company car parks. In some countries, e.g. in
Italy and New Zealand1, mode 2 charging is pro-
hibited in public areas.
Further information is available from your Por-
sche partner and from your local power supplier.
eUnauthorised persons (e.g. playing children)
must not have access to the charger and the
vehicle during unsupervised charging.
ePlease read the safety instructions in the instal-
lation manual and the Driver’s Manual.
Electric shock, re
Incorrect handling of the plug contacts can lead to
electric shock or re.
eDo not touch the contacts on the vehicle charge
port and charger.
eDo not insert any objects into the vehicle charge
port or charger.
eProtect electrical sockets and plug connections
against moisture, water and other liquids.
Flammable or explosive
vapours
Components of the charger can cause sparks and
ignite ammable or explosive vapours.
eTo reduce the risk of explosion – particularly
in garages – make sure that the control unit is
located at least 50 cm above the oor during
charging.
eDo not install the charger in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
Observe the following instructions and recommenda-
tions in order to guarantee uninterrupted charging
with the charger:
–Before installation, check that the necessary
power for charging a vehicle can be continuously
provided with the currently available domestic
installation. If necessary, protect the domestic
installation with an energy management system.
–The charger should preferably be operated in
earthed mains supply systems. The protective
conductor must be properly installed.

Security
–When installing a new electrical socket, select an
industrial electrical outlet with the highest pos-
sible power available (adapted to the domestic
electric installation) and have it put into opera-
tion by a qualied electrician.
–Where technically possible and legally permissi-
ble, the electric installation must be dimensioned
in such a way that the maximum nominal power
of the electrical socket used is available for
charging the vehicle.
–In order to make full use of the charger and to
ensure fast vehicle charging, use either NEMA
electrical sockets with the highest possible cur-
rent rating appropriate for the power plug or in-
dustrial electrical outlets to IEC 60309.
–When charging the high-voltage battery via the
domestic/industrial electrical outlet, the electri-
cal installation may be loaded to its maximum
capacity.
Porsche recommends that you have electrical
installations used for charging checked regularly
by a qualied electrician. Ask a qualied electri-
cian which inspection intervals are appropriate
for your installation.
–On delivery, the charging current is automatically
limited to prevent overheating of the electrical
installation. Have a qualied electrician bring the
charger into operation and set the charging cur-
rent limit as required for the domestic installa-
tion.
gRefer to chapter "Limitation of charging cur-
rent" on page 17.
Intended use
Charger with integrated control and protection for
mode 2 charging, for charging vehicles with high-
voltage batteries that meet the generally applicable
standards and directives for electric vehicles.
eAlways use the appropriate device version for the
local mains supply.
gRefer to chapter "Technical Data" on page 28.
The charger may only be used as a combination of
supply cable, control panel and vehicle cable.

DANGER
Requirements and conditions
Selecting the installation location
Electric shock, re
Improper use of the charger or non-compliance with
the safety instructions may result in short circuits,
electric shocks, explosions, re or burns.
eDo not install the basic wall mount in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
eTo reduce the risk of explosion - particularly in
garages - make sure that the control unit is
located at least 50 cm above the oor during
charging.
eObserve the locally applicable electrical installa-
tion regulations, re protection measures, acci-
dent prevention regulations and escape routes.
The basic wall mount is designed for indoor and out-
door installation.
The following criteria must be considered when se-
lecting a suitable installation location:
–Install the electrical socket and basic wall mount
preferably in a covered area protected against
direct sunlight and rain (e.g. in a garage).
–Do not spray the basic wall mount directly with
water (e.g. high-pressure cleaning equipment or
garden hoses)
–Do not install the basic wall mount under sus-
pended or hanging objects.
–Do not install the basic wall mount in stables,
livestock buildings or locations where ammonia
gases occur.
–Install the basic wall mount on a smooth surface.
–In order to ensure secure fastening, check the
condition of the wall before installing.
–Install the basic wall mount so that it is not near
pathways and the charging cables do not cross
any pathways.
–Install the basic wall mount so that the distance
between the plug and the socket does not ex-
ceed the length of the available supply cable.
–Install the electrical socket as close as possible
to the preferred vehicle parking position. Take
the orientation of the vehicle into account.
–The distance of the electrical socket from the
oor and ceiling should be selected in compli-
ance with national regulations and standards so
that comfortable use is ensured.
