Porsche Wireless Charge
When the new completely electric Porsche Cayenne arrives next year, you can load it without even bothering to open the loading lid and turn on the cable.
Porsche wants to transform the electric car experience: the German brand will make an optional system of wireless loading that will allow to charge the battery while the car is parked.
Designated, the operation is similar to the induction of mobile phones, with a base installed on the floor which transmits energy to a receiver placed at the bottom of the vehicle.
But, unlike mobile phones, There is no physical contact: Energy is transferred by the air, note o. According to Porsche, the load is made at a distance of between 11 and 16cmwith up to 90% efficiency.
The system, which will be launched at Cayenne Electric in the spring of 2026, can charge the car to 11kWa performance comparable to that of a domestic wallbox,
The charging base is a 117 by 78 centimeters plate6 centimeters thick and 50 pounds of weight, for inner or outside use, and will have a cost of about 8 thousand euros “A modest amount, for those who bought a Cayenne to start.”
Inside the plate, a broadcasterfed by current current, generates a magnetic field. The receiver, fixed under the front axis, converts this field into electrical energy, which is transmitted to the high voltage battery.
The process requires accuracy: The pneumatic suspension automatically lows chassis to bring the receiving coil closer. The alignment is controlled by chambers and guides projected on the vehicle screen. Once everything is calibrated, the energy transfer begins.
What happens, asks, if a person is terrible to park, and go over the plate? According to Porsche, the charging base is resistant enough not to go under the considerable weight of a battery -equipped cayenne, waterproof and dirt -resistant.
And if your cat decides to go to sleep for the loading base? Will be fried by magnetic field Wireless loading? Porsche engineers thought about it. The system interrupts the process If you detect obstacles or animals between the base and the vehicle.
Monitoring and loading adjustments are controlled through the application My Porsche. The plate connects to the domestic power grid through conventional wiring and receives software updates by Wi-Fi or LTE.
According to the brand, 75% of owners Porsche electricals carry mainly at home. The system operates all year round, regardless of weather conditions, ensures Porsche.
Regardless of the system chosen, the German brand states that the battery accepts loads up to 400 kW in direct currentallowing from 10% to 80% in just 16 minutes with a compatible charger. The two onboard porters divide the power entry to optimize charging times into different infrastructure in the European and Asian markets.
Cayenne Electric is expected to be on the market in the summer of 2026. Porsche will keep the production of Cayenne Combustionand launch new coupe versions and s grounds on the same platform.
