Porsche is announcing a revolution in electric vehicle charging. Soon, drivers will be able to charge their cars without using a cable or plug—simply park the car over a special floor plate, and the energy will flow automatically.
At the IAA Mobility trade fair in Munich, the innovative technology will be showcased in a unique prototype Cayenne. The car is coated with fluorescent paint that lights up when current flows through the vehicle. The striking body consists of more than 25 ultra-thin layers, including electroluminescent and conductive materials, with the design prepared by Porsche’s Style department.
The manufacturer emphasizes that this is the world’s first mass-produced wireless charging system with up to 11 kW power that does not require an additional wallbox or control unit.
The Porsche Wireless Charging system consists of a compact “one-box” floor plate that can be installed in a garage, under a carport, or in an outdoor parking space. Charging begins automatically once the vehicle is parked in the correct position and the parking brake is engaged. This makes vehicle operation extremely simple and intuitive.
The new technology delivers energy transfer efficiency of up to 90%, and the charging power matches the level of standard wired alternating current (AC) charging. Porsche points out that as much as 75% of all charging takes place at users’ homes—highlighting the significant potential of this solution.
Wireless charging will be available for the first time as an option in the new generation Cayenne Electric (E4) model, whose global premiere is planned for the end of 2025. Sales of the floor plates will begin in 2026 at Porsche Centers and through the Porsche Shop online store.
The launch of the Porsche Wireless Charging system is a milestone in e-mobility development—a solution that not only simplifies the daily routine of electric vehicle users but also increases charging comfort and safety.
