Porsche Brings Wireless Home Charging to 2026 Cayenne Electric

The production-ready 11 kW inductive setup launches in Europe in 2026 to make routine home charging a hands‑free task.

Overview

  • A flat, one‑box floor pad transfers power to an underbody receiver when the SUV is parked over it, with air suspension lowering to a 4–6 inch gap and Surround View aiding alignment.
  • Porsche claims up to 11 kW charging at roughly 90% efficiency, targeting performance comparable to a typical Level 2 plug‑in home charger.
  • The base plate is weatherproof and integrates motion and foreign‑object detection, with reported TÜV, CE and UL certifications to pause charging if interference is detected.
  • Charging management runs through the My Porsche app, enabling status monitoring, scheduling and preconditioning without a separate wallbox.
  • The inductive hardware must be specified at build and cannot be retrofitted, with first availability in Europe in 2026 and other markets to follow; pricing is not finalized, though reports suggest multi‑thousand‑euro hardware plus installation.
