      Charging On The Go

      The Taycan’s charging abilities are just as powerful as the sports car itself.
      How to find a charging station
      • Charge your Taycan at high-power Electrify Canada charging stations. To find them, use the Porsche Charging Service App ("Charging NA" on iOS and Android).
      • To find additional public chargers at all power levels, use the Navigation system, or use plugshare.com on your mobile device.

      Seamless charging at Electrify Canada
      • 28 Electrify Canada stations are operational and available on most major highways.
      • In addition to the Charging NA app, you can also search for these stations in your Navigation system by selecting “Porsche Charging Service”.
      • When you arrive, simply Plug-in*. For the fastest charging experience, use the charger labelled with 350 kW.
      *These stations use “Plug and Charge”

      Electrify Canada:
      Step-By-Step Guide


      Step 1: Approach
      • Use the Charging NA App to locate nearest station.
      • When pulling into the spot be aware: The DC charging port is on the passenger-side. Safely get close to the charger, cables can be short.
      • Open charge port door.

      Step 2: Plug-and-Charge
      • The charger should recognize you automatically and begin charging*.

      • Replace the cable in the charger.
      • Close the charge port door.
      *Backup: If you have this feature turned on, you can manually start a charging session using the Charging NA App. First, select the charging site and find the charger ID (like a fuel pump number at a gas station). Then, click on that charger and “Start Charging” to activate the session.

      Your Mandate


      The production (filming and editing) of 1 Instagram Reel featuring the Porsche Travel Experience British Columbia and a total of at least 12 Instagram stories (3 per day, for the 4-day duration of the experience). The Reel is to be published on Instagram, in addition to providing rights of usage for organic repost by Porsche Cars Canada.

      Posting Criterias


      1 post on Instagram (Reel)
      • The duration of the video has to be 15 secs-1:30 min.

      • The video has to summarize the overall experience of the creator during the Travel Experience, and include shots of the creator driving around the provided Porsche vehicle, the scenery, the various included activities, etc.

      Content Considerations


      We’ve included the following guidelines to help ensure you’re able to capture high-quality content that aligns with the Porsche brand and standards. We encourage you to consider the following:
      • The official pronunciation for Porsche is “Por-scha” and not “Por-sche”, because of its German origin. It’s extremely important for the creator to pronounce it correctly at all times in video content (example here).
      • Abide by federal and provincial driving/road laws. No illegal parking or driving.
      • Follow all safety guidelines and protocols in place.
      • Showcase the car’s capabilities.
      • Include as much of the car as possible in each shot when flming/shooting the exterior.
      • Ensure the vehicle is brightly lit, but not over exposed.
      Additionally, these are some things to avoid in order to ensure that your content aligns with the Porsche corporate identity. When shooting, avoid:
      • Sitting or standing on top of the car.
      • Holding the camera and filming video while driving the vehicle.
      • Filming yourself eating or drinking while driving the vehicle.
      • Cursing or using language that doesn’t align with the Porsche brand.
      • Highlighting other brands in footage/images.

      Important Details For Your Post

      Both for Instagram Reels and Stories:

      • For the Reel, your caption MUST tag @porschecanada.
      • @porschecanada MUST be tagged in postings.
      • Use #PorscheTravelExperience and #TravelExperienceCanada (postings can also include #PorscheCanada and #Porsche911).

      Instagram Reel

      Content Approval


      The creator will be asked to join a platform called Tagger for the approval of the content. This platform will also pull the campaign performance statistics.

      Dimensions


      The video format has to be 9x16, optimal for Reels and TikTok. Ideally filmed in a 4K resolution, but can be in 1080p.
