What EV Charger Do You Need for a 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo?
A full charge takes 10.3 hours at the maximum rate, which easily fits an overnight window. Your car needs a 48 amp Level 2 charger to hit that speed. You will need a qualified sparky to pull a new circuit for the hardware.
The numbers
| Maximum AC charging rate | 11.0 kW (48 A) |
|---|---|
| Charger size to buy | 48 A |
| Circuit breaker required | 60 A |
| Outlet / connection | hardwired (a 48 A EVSE must be hardwired -- no household receptacle is rated for it) |
| Charge port | J1772 |
| Full charge on Level 2 | about 10.3 hours |
| Range added per hour (Level 2) | about 26 miles |
| Full charge on a 120 V outlet | about 79 hours |
| Range added per hour (120 V) | about 3.4 miles |
| EPA rated range | 265 miles |
| Energy for a full charge | about 113.8 kWh at the wall |
Why 48 amps and not more
The onboard charger maxes out at 48 amps. Buying a larger unit gives zero speed benefit because the car limits the intake. Pushing past 48 amps requires expensive commercial grade wiring for no gain. Matching the exact vehicle limit protects the electrical system from thermal overload. Plug it into a 48 amp Level 2 supply and walk away.
What the install involves
A 48 amp charger must be hardwired directly to the electrical panel. No household receptacle handles that continuous load safely. The electrician must run a 60 amp breaker with heavy gauge wire to support the draw. Ask them to verify your main service panel has spare physical and amp capacity before buying hardware.

Common questions
- Can I plug this car into a standard wall outlet?
- Level 1 charging takes 79 hours for a complete fill. You get 3.4 miles of range per hour of plug time. Use it only in a pinch.
- Why does the EPA charge time say 13.0 hours?
- The EPA test protocol does not always run at the car's peak AC rate. Real world charging at the full 11.0 kilowatt rate finishes in 10.3 hours.
- What connector does the car use?
- It uses a J1772 connection. Many 2025 plus vehicles ship with a NACS port but include a J1772 adapter, so a J1772 home charger still works. Confirm your car port before buying.
- Do I need an adapter for Tesla destination chargers?
- Yes. A Lectron Tesla to J1772 Charging Adapter rated for 80 amps lets your car use Tesla Destination Chargers and Wall Connectors.
