2022 PORSCHE TAYCAN — Complaint #1829547
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:CHARGING:CABLE/CORD:ACCESSORY filed July 29, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1829547 (ODI reference 11476601) concerns a 2022 PORSCHE TAYCAN and was filed on July 29, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 18, 2022. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:propulsion system:charging:cable/cord:accessory, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same PORSCHE TAYCAN cohort independently describe similar electrical system:propulsion system:charging:cable/cord:accessory failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 PORSCHE TAYCAN shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
While charging was in progress using Porsche's app at a charging station of Electrify America, the charging process suddenly stopped, when I switched from the app to an email app. And since the charging station displayed "Please unplug", I was unplugging a charging cable from a Taycan's charging port, then there was an explosion at the port with an ear-splitting bang and a large spark. The car dashboard then displayed "Electrical system error" and was totally unmovable, so it was towed to a dealer on 6/18/2022. The dealer contacted the manufacturer, but the car is still not repaired even though 40+ days have passed, which is unreasonable. I found the below article and suspect whether it's related with the "inexpensive onboard charger": - An excerpt from: https://www.teslarati.com/porsche-whistleblower-taycan-battery-charger-fires-coverup/ "Porsche uses an inexpensive onboard charger that does not control the process well, the whistleblower explained to me in detail.
