It is comforting to come out and find the Green fully charged indicator lit most of the time now.

The CTEK version (same as what Porsche sells, just different logo) is not expensive, and it is easy to use. I think Porsche knows a lot of owners don't drive these cars enough and that is why they (and other sports car makers) market the CTEK chargers with the cars and some even include them with the car.
