Selecting Installation
Location
The basic wall mount and the charging dock are
designed for installation indoors and outdoors.
The following criteria must be considered when
selecting a suitable installation location:
– Install the electrical socket, basic wall mount or
charging dock in a covered area away from direct
sunlight and rain (e.g. in a garage) if possible.
– The distance of the electrical socket from the
floor and ceiling should be selected in compliance
with national regulations and standards so that
comfortable use is ensured:
the charger should be mounted at a sufficient
height from grade such that the height of
the storage for the coupling device is located
between 24 in. (600 mm) and 4 ft. (1.2 m)
from grade.
– Do not install the basic wall mount or charging
dock under hanging objects.
– Do not install the basic wall mount or charging
dock in stables, livestock buildings or locations
where ammonia gases occur.
– Install the basic wall mount or charging dock on a
smooth surface.
– In order to ensure secure fastening, check the
condition of the wall before installation.
– Install the basic wall mount or charging dock as
close as possible to the preferred parking position
for the vehicle. Take the orientation of the vehicle
into account.
– Install the basic wall mount or charging dock so
that it is not near to pathways and the supply
cable does not cross any pathways.
– Install the basic wall mount or charging dock so
that the distance from the power plug to the
power socket does not exceed the available
supply cable length.
DANGER
Electric shock, fire
Incorrectly installed electrical sockets can cause
electric shock or fire when the high-voltage battery is
charged using the vehicle charge port.
e Power supply testing and installation and initial
operation of the electrical socket for the charger
may only be carried out by specialist electricians.
They are fully responsible for compliance with the
relevant standards and regulations. Porsche
recommends that you use a certified Porsche
service partner.
e The cross-section of the power cable for the
electrical socket is defined in accordance with the
wire length and the locally applicable regulations
and standards.
e Connect the electrical socket used for charging
via a separately fused electric circuit, which
complies with the local laws and standards.
e The charger is designed for use in the private and
semi-public sector, e.g. on private property or
in company parking lots. In some countries, e.g. in
Italy and New Zealand
1)
, mode 2 charging is
prohibited in the public sector and in public areas.
e Unauthorized persons, e.g. playing children, or
animals must not have access to the charger or
the vehicle during unsupervised charging.
e Please read the safety instructions in the
Operating Manual and the Owner’s Manual.

your authorized Porsche dealer or your local electricity
supplier.
Information
In some countries, the relevant authorities must be
notified if you connect electric vehicle charging
equipment.
e Check obligation to notify the authorities and
legal requirements for operation before
connecting charging equipment.
DANGER
Electric shock, fire
Improper use of the charger or non-compliance with
the safety instructions can cause short circuits,
electric shocks, explosions, fires or burns.
e Do not install the basic wall mount or the
charging dock in potentially explosive areas.
e Before installing the basic wall mount or charging
dock, make sure that there are no electric wires in
the area in which the mounting holes are to be
drilled.
e To reduce the risk of explosion, particularly in
garages, make sure that the control unit is at least
19.7 in. (50 cm) above the floor during charging.
e To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit
provided with 50 amperes for Mobile Charger
Connect with 9.6 kW/40 A maximum branch
circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with
the ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical code.
e Observe the locally applicable electrical
installation regulations, fire protection measures,
accident prevention regulations and escape
routes.
