Porsche EV home charger cable becomes very stiff or cracked in cold weather, and the outer jacket shows signs of splitting.

Safety first: Do not use a cable with visible cracks or exposed conductors. Turn off power at the breaker before handling a damaged cable.

• Inspect entire length: Carefully examine the Porsche charging cable from the wallbox to the plug for cracks, splits, or exposed wires.
• Avoid tight bends: Store the cable loosely coiled with large loops, especially in cold weather, to reduce stress.
• Replace cable assembly: If any damage is found, have a technician replace the complete Porsche wallbox cable and plug assembly. Do not attempt to tape or patch the cable.
• Consider protective measures: If the charger is exposed to harsh weather, consider a cable cover or relocating the wallbox to a more sheltered area.
