porsche to offer wireless charging for the 2026 cayenne ev

Wireless charging for EVs may feel like a far-off technology, but it’s coming to a new Porsche model in the Year of Our Lord 2026. The Porsche Cayenne EV will be offered with wireless charging capabilities, and the way it works is surprisingly similar to smartphone technologies.

The wireless system uses a charging pad, and the driver only needs to park the vehicle over it to begin the process. The floor charging plate uses air cooling and weighs 110 pounds. Buyers wanting the option have to specify it when ordering, which includes a wireless charging prep package, allowing a Porsche dealer to install the charging plate later if the driver doesn’t want it installed at the factory.

Porsche claims 90 percent efficiency with the wireless charger compared to a Level 2 plug, though there may be variance in extreme temperatures. Everything is controlled by the MyPorsche app, and the vehicle automatically syncs with the charger upon approaching.

We don’t have pricing details for the wireless charging system yet, but we’ll likely learn more as we approach the Cayenne EV’s release date, which is expected later this year. The option costs around $9,500 in Germany, so a similar price would be reasonable for American buyers.

Built-in inefficiency with every charge, no thanks. Park wrong and you think it is charging when it isn't, no thanks. Can't share the charger without moving vehicles, no thanks.
Oh sorry I forgot: EVs are not real, do not work and never will work. There is no electricity. No one has money. Sorry to waste your time.
Now excuse me, I'll be digging up grubs for protein.

  But I have Spanish Doubloons, are they enough? How about an IOU signed by Alexander Hamilton?

After plugging my Chevy Volt in for 9 years, I'd much rather have a plug. In fact I'd pay more for the plug than this. The efficiency loss alone is enough to not want it. Still, it's just a bad idea in so many ways.

Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.

Big Al from Oz gidday mites how are yall feelin today? Want to have a barbie? We are right here gettin dee fire ready
Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
