you arrive home, park your Porsche Cayenne EV over a floor pad, and walk away. No cables, no plugging in—just seamless charging. This isn’t science fiction anymore. Porsche’s groundbreaking 11kW wireless charging system is set to debut with the 2026 Cayenne Electric, showcasing this technology at the Munich Motor Show ahead of the vehicle’s premiere later this year.

How Porsche’s Wireless Magic Works
The wireless charging pad delivers up to 11kW of power, matching wired AC charging levels while remaining completely contactless, with an impressive 90% energy transfer efficiency from grid to battery. Think of it like placing your smartphone on a charging pad, but for your luxury SUV.
Porsche’s innovative “one-box” system eliminates the need for separate wallboxes or control units—just a floor plate mounted in your parking space. This streamlined approach makes installation surprisingly simple.
