Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo EV charger: which one suits it best?
The Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo is the sharpest version of the Cross Turismo. Maximum performance, 800V technology and fast charging of over 260 kW at a motorway charger. At home a different number counts.
All that performance changes nothing about the AC charging speed, which tops out at 22 kW just like on the other versions. As standard this Porsche charges at 11 kW at home. With the optional 22 kW on-board charger, the AC charger built into the car itself, you are done considerably sooner. Want to compare more widely? Browse all Porsche EV chargers in our overview.

Which EV charger suits the Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo?
Everything hinges on your on-board charger, not on the car's power output. With the standard 11 kW charger an 11 kW unit gives you the car's full home charging speed. Paying for more capacity buys you nothing in that case. Ordered the optional 22 kW on-board charger instead? Then a 22 kW model cuts the overnight charge to roughly four hours.
A MID meter is worth planning for at either power level. That is a certified kWh meter which records your charging separately from the rest of your household. It turns charging into a figure you can read, instead of an unexplained rise on your energy bill. At 22 kW almost every charger has one. At 11 kW there is a single model that offers it, so check the specification before you order.
Compare the full range of 11 kW EV chargers, or narrow it down to a charging station with a MID meter. A car this size draws a lot of power for hours on end. That is exactly where dynamic load balancing earns its keep. The charger measures how much power is free and turns itself down when the rest of the house needs it.
We always recommend having the connection made by a certified electrician. It is safer and it matters for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. In Germany that runs through a free quote instead of an order. Outside those three countries we ship worldwide, but we do not install.
How long does the Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo take to charge?
Your charging time follows your on-board charger. With the standard 11 kW unit, the net battery of 83.7 kWh takes about 7.5 hours from nearly empty to full. That fits a night at home. With the optional 22 kW charger it drops to roughly 4 hours. The 800V architecture pays off mainly on the road, where this Porsche pulls over 260 kW at a DC fast charger. At home 22 kW AC stays the ceiling.
The Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo uses a Type 2 connection. A separate Type 2 charging cable is only needed if you want to charge at a socket-type station elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo charge faster than a regular Cross Turismo?
Not at home. The Turbo S is quicker on the road. But the AC charging speed is identical across all Cross Turismo versions: 11 kW as standard, 22 kW optional. Your home charging time therefore depends on your on-board charger, not on the power of the car.
Do I need a three-phase connection to charge at 22 kW?
Yes. The full 22 kW at home asks for a three-phase connection with enough capacity on each phase. How much your home actually has depends on your grid connection, so have an electrician confirm it. With a lighter connection a 22 kW charger is often still possible. Load balancing then turns the power down automatically when other appliances draw a lot.
Why does a MID meter matter for this Porsche?
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter inside the charger. It records exactly how much electricity your car takes at home, apart from your other household use. With a battery this size that adds up quickly. So it answers a question worth asking: what does a full charge really cost you?
