What EV Charger Do You Need for a 2024 Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo?
You need a 48 amp Level 2 home charging setup for this car. The onboard charger caps your AC intake at 11.0 kilowatts. Feeding it more power will not speed up your daily turnaround.
The numbers
| Maximum AC charging rate | 11.0 kW (48 A) |
|---|---|
| Charger size to buy | 48 A |
| Circuit breaker required | 60 A |
| Outlet / connection | hardwired (a 48 A EVSE must be hardwired -- no household receptacle is rated for it) |
| Charge port | J1772 |
| Full charge on Level 2 | about 9.1 hours |
| Range added per hour (Level 2) | about 26 miles |
| Full charge on a 120 V outlet | about 70 hours |
| Range added per hour (120 V) | about 3.3 miles |
| EPA rated range | 233 miles |
| Energy for a full charge | about 100.2 kWh at the wall |
Why 48 amps and not more
The car draws 48 amps max, so a 48 amp EVSE matches its limit. Pumping more current from a larger unit changes nothing because the onboard hardware regulates the flow. Buy a 48 amp supply and nothing bigger. You will get 26 miles of range per hour of charging. A full battery takes 9.1 hours at this maximum rate.
What the install involves
Have a licensed electrician pull a circuit and land it on a 60 amp breaker. No household receptacle can handle 48 amps safely. Hardwire the unit directly to the electrical supply instead of using an outlet. Ask your electrician to verify your main panel has spare capacity before starting the job.
Chargers that match this car

Common questions
- Can I use a standard wall outlet?
- Level 1 charging from a standard household outlet gives you 3.3 miles of range per hour. A full recharge takes 70 hours. You need Level 2 hardware for practical daily driving.
- What connector does the car use?
- Your car uses a J1772 connector for AC Level 2 charging. Every non Tesla EV sold in North America through 2024 uses this standard.
- Why does the EPA charge time differ from the max rate?
- The EPA test does not always run at the car's peak AC rate. The EPA rated charge time is 10.5 hours at 22 miles per hour.
- Can I charge at Tesla stations?
- You can use Tesla Destination Chargers and Wall Connectors with a J1772 adapter. Check the adapter rating before plugging in.
