The Cayenne will be the first Porsche model that can be ordered with the optional inductive charging floor plate as an option. A prototype with fluorescent paint demonstrates the innovative technology at the 2025 IAA Mobility in Munich. The world premiere of the new Cayenne Electric is planned for the end of 2025.

The Porsche Wireless Charging receiver unit, located in the underbody of the vehicle between the front wheels, will bring an 11-kW charging system with a “one-box” base plate for BEVs.

One-Box means that all components, aside from the supply cable, are contained within the floor plate - there is no need to install a wall box or control unit. To initiate the charging process, the Cayenne only has to be parked above the floor plate. The contactless transfer of energy between the two charging units takes place over a distance of roughly four to six inches (102 mm to 152 mm). To make this possible, the Cayenne reduces the ride height automatically. The base plate has a motion detector and foreign object detection. The charging process is automatically interrupted if interference is detected.

A special view in the Surround View parking function makes it easier to maneuver the Cayenne to the optimal charging position. As soon as the parking position above the floor plate is reached and the parking brake is activated, the charging process begins. Customers don't need to do anything else. Convenience functions familiar from AC charging, such as departure timer with cabin preconditioning, are also available for wireless charging.

Porsche Wireless Charging will initially launch in Europe in 2026. Other markets around the world will follow.
