Taikan charging error

My beloved Taikan suffered its first major trouble.

One evening, I returned home in my Taikan and connected my home 200V regular charging cable as usual. However, when I got on the Taikan the next morning, I noticed that the charge had not increased at all.

."Huh? Did the charging cable not stick properly?I rode the Taikan to work as usual that day and returned home in the evening. This time, I carefully plugged in the charging cable, but an error message appeared on the charger side.

And the charge display on the taikan also showed an error.

I went home and told my husband, and he promptly checked the taikan and charger, but no matter how many times he tried, he kept saying, "Is the charger malfunctioning or is there a problem with the taikan itself?I couldn't determine if the "I'm not a fan of this". (The charger is genuine Porsche, but it's old because I bought it from Yahoo! for my 970 Panamera Hybrid)

Nevertheless, it was kind of weird to go to bed in this state without knowing the cause, so I decided to head to a regular charging spot in a coin-operated parking lot later that night.

If the taikan shows an error, it can be determined that the taikan is faulty, and if it recharges normally, it can be determined that the charger is faulty.From.

However, there were surprisingly no regular charging spots nearby that allowed charging late at night, so I drove 20 minutes to a coin-operated parking lot that had regular charging, parked my car, and plugged in the charging cable.

If it charges without problems, it means that the home charger is faulty. If you get a charging error on the Taikan, it means that there is something wrong with the Taikan.

Fearfully, I checked the charging status of Taikan...Taikan showed a charging error message.

Ah...I knew it was a problem on the Taikan side...

Once this was discovered, we paid for coin parking for just a couple of minutes (LOL) and went home for the day.

Replacing parts of taikan

The next morning, I called the Porsche Center and was told to have the Taikan looked at that day.

What was unfortunate was that,The battery still had about 50% charge left, so I was able to drive myself to the Porsche Center on my own.That is.

Upon arrival, the person in charge of theMaybe a reset will help.I was given the explanation that the error was probably minor enough that it would be fixed, but about 30 minutes later I received a "Reset does not solve the problem, and it will take more time to find out.The company was informed that "the

At any rate, I had brought my computer with me, so I was allowed to do some work, and an hour later.

From the service representative, "There is an error in the computer inside the taikan, and this needs to be replaced part for part.He told me, "I'm not going to be able to do it.

Wow!

The Taikan, which has a system voltage of 800 V, is said to have precise electronic control in various areas, including voltage and temperature, to prevent runaway due to malfunction. To the untrained eye, the EV has a seemingly simple structure,It's actually a very complex system.This was the case.

The cause of the problem cannot be determined, but an error occurred for some reason and the computer itself stopped booting.

By the way.Was I charging the wrong way...?I asked him, "I don't think that's what you mean," and he said, "I don't think that's what you mean," which was a bit of a relief (laughs).

However, we were told that the parts would have to be ordered from Germany (a common practice for Porsche), and that it would take about two weeks for them to arrive, followed by about one week for the replacement work, for a total of three weeks for the repair.

I had to pick up my child from kindergarten that day, so I borrowed a loaner car and went home.

The hospital stay is expected to be longer than originally anticipated, three weeks for the parts to arrive and less than a month including subsequent work.

It's going to be a pretty long hospital stay.
However, well, it can't be helped.

The cost of replacing the parts was free of charge since they were within the warranty period. In addition, several other recalls will be conducted at the same time.

Warranties are important.

This time around, we are reminded of the importance of warranties. Because it is an expensive purchase, the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you will be well protected should anything go wrong is more important than anything else.

I had never heard of any major problems with the Taikan, but I was surprised to hear of such unexpected happenings from time to time. Since the car is packed with the latest technology, the structure must be complicated, and it is inevitable that errors may occur.

I hope to keep up with my beloved car with a patient attitude, taking it easy and thinking, "Well, this happens once in a while.
