The new Porsche Macan EV can now take advantage of the CCS charge on a ChargePoint DCFC through the Porsche DCFC locater app.​

Porsche has signed an agreement with ChargePoint which enables access to its charging network within the Porsche Charging Services. The collaboration will increase the number of chargers available to Porsche customers to more than 86,000 across the United States.

The My Porsche app enables drivers to easily find, use and pay at charging stations. This partnership bolsters the existing integration with Electrify America, allowing both Porsche EV and PHEV customers to charge at ChargePoint and roaming partner charging stations via the My Porsche app. With this addition all Porsche Charging Service Customers will be able to charge at more than 75% of all J1772 and CCS charging ports across the United States. These additional charging stations will become available in Q4 2024.

As a caveat however, first gen 2020 through 2024, first gen 2025 Macan EV, and second gen 2025 Porsche Taycan’s, can charge at rates of 272 KW and 320 KW (2nd gen Taycan only). There are very few ChargePoint DCFC’ers outside of the new 400 kW capable Mercedes-Benz/ChargePoint DCFC’ers that allow this rate of charge. In fact, there are just 21 across the country capable of charging at > 250 KW as of this writing.

250 kW+ ChargePoint DCFC'ers in the U.S. today.​

In late 2023 Porsche announced planned implementation of the North American Charging Standard (NACS) charging port for future products in the North American region. In addition, the company is exploring adapter solutions for existing vehicles to access the Tesla Supercharger network, starting in the first half of 2025.
