Reduced Charging Current / Derating
Porsche EV home charger shows correct status but the vehicle charges at a much lower power than expected.

Possible Causes
Wallbox maximum current set lower than circuit rating, Vehicle onboard charger limiting current, High internal temperature causing automatic derating, Dynamic load management intentionally reducing current
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This is typically not a safety issue, but verify that cables and connectors are not overheating.
- Check wallbox settings: In the configuration, verify the maximum current is set to the desired value within the limits of the supply circuit.
- Check vehicle settings: Some Porsche vehicles allow limiting charge current; ensure this is not set too low.
- Monitor temperature: If the wallbox or plug feels hot, internal derating may be protecting components; investigate cooling and connections.
- Review load management: If part of a managed system, check whether other loads or wallboxes are consuming available capacity.
