The Porsche Cayenne Electric Will Charge Wirelessly In Your Garage

"Owners will be able to park the Cayenne Electric over an inductive floor plate, which houses a copper and ferrite transmitter coil, Porsche said. An alternating current will run through this coil, generating a magnetic field. That field links with a receiver coil in the vehicle's underbody, located between the front wheels. The on-board system will then convert alternating current into direct current to charge the high-voltage battery."

"Plus, it's certified to European (CE) and U.S. (UL) safety standards. Porsche said electromagnetic radiation is contained beneath the vehicle and the system will automatically pause charging if it detects foreign objects, like a misplaced tool or a pet that loves to hide under the car, for example. You'll need precise parking to ensure it works, so the vehicle's cameras and the screens inside will have markers helping you place the EV exactly over the charging pad."

The Cayenne Electric will offer an optional inductive wireless charging system when it goes on sale in 2026. Owners park the SUV over a weatherproof floor plate containing a copper and ferrite transmitter coil that creates a magnetic field to link with a receiver coil in the vehicle underbody. The on-board system converts alternating current into direct current to charge the high-voltage battery. The system is certified to CE and UL standards, contains electromagnetic radiation beneath the vehicle, pauses for foreign objects, requires precise parking aided by camera markers, and peaks at 11 kW with up to 90% efficiency.
