Porsche mobile charger with MG4

[redwood98]

I know I just asked this about the Tesla charger but has anyone used the Porsche charger with their MG4 and if so what features of it were you able to use?

if this one...

Porsche Mobile Charger | PORSCHE SHOP

shop.porsche.com

then that's a 3-phase commando plug
probably not what you want

The CEE adaptors are available in either 16 or 32A, single or 3 phase. @redwood98, I guess the one you are interested in would be the 32A single phase. But it seems the one supplied is a 3 phase, so you'd need a 13A UK lead and the 32A single phase both at £136 each....wow.
Also from Porsche is a kit with the 32A CEE lead, and a 13A UK lead , priced at over £1100, gotta expect that I guess with that name.

.. I think the conclusion is get an MG EVSE charger for occasional use / away from home, but get a wall box charger compatible with energy companies (e.g. Octopus & Ohme or Zappi) to get the low cost charging around 7p / Kwh or 2-3p / mile

Just get any charger and put a sticker on it that says "My other charger is a Porsche"

They are constantly for sale used/new on eBay for £200, someone told me they bought one used for a similar price and have had it for years, seems like a no brainer to get one from a massive brand for a fraction of the price. The ones I see for sale are all 32A single phase and 13A 3 pin.

... maybe I've missed something here, but these are 10A 3-pin plug chargers - great for occasional use, but one does need a more permament solution, which also gives access to overnight cheap rates.

I meant 10A 3 pin, I have a commando 32A port I will be using with this charger; just want to check if anyone else has done it before.

Yes it will charge at 10A, (UK plug adaptor) or 32A (CEE adaptor), but is otherwise very basic without delay Timer or display, but as @Tig170 points out it will be difficult to access cheap overnight rates to really make a difference to your motoring costs

I am on Solar, I usually charge in the day so that isn't really a problem and the one I am after getting is this.

From my understanding it's basically the same as the LED one but has screen controls/app controls.
My only worry really is it being compatible with my car.

I'd say there is a 99% chance that it will work.
