Porsche Brings 11 kW Wireless Charging to Cayenne Electric, Launching in 2026

The system targets effortless home top-ups using a one-box floor plate with automatic positioning.

Overview

  • Porsche confirms an inductive setup delivering up to 11 kW with roughly 90% transfer efficiency, positioned for routine home charging while the Cayenne Electric retains reported wired DC rates up to about 400 kW for rapid trips.
  • The vehicle uses an underbody receiver between the front wheels and guides drivers via a camera view; once aligned, the SUV lowers by a few centimetres to a 4–6 inch gap and charging starts automatically through the My Porsche app.
  • Safety and durability features include motion and foreign‑object detection that pauses charging for pets or hot metal, weatherproof construction tested by TÜV Süd, CE and UL certification, and a 50 kg connected pad with LTE/Wi‑Fi and no separate wallbox.
  • Initial availability is limited to the new Cayenne Electric with Europe-first sales in 2026 and other markets to follow; Porsche notes dealer retrofits for the Cayenne will be possible, with current Taycan and Macan models excluded.
  • Pricing has not been finalized by Porsche, though outlets report about €2,000 for the vehicle-side option and between €3,000 and €5,000 for the floor plate depending on the source.
