Porsche launches 11 kW wireless charging pad for Cayenne Electric in Europe, US rollout planned for second half of year
By Eve
Porsche has begun selling an 11 kW wireless charging pad for the Cayenne Electric in Germany and other European markets, marking the first such system available in Europe or the United States. The company states the wireless charging system operates at 90% efficiency. A US launch is expected in the second half of this year, though Porsche has not confirmed the timeline.
Why it matters: This represents the first commercial deployment of automotive wireless charging infrastructure in Western markets, potentially opening a new procurement category for fleet operators and workplace charging providers. The 90% efficiency claim, if validated, addresses a key technical barrier that has limited wireless charging adoption in commercial EV applications.
