Wireless Charging a 2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric

Porsche's much-anticipated 2026 EV has charging tech akin to a giant Qi puck. But what happens when Mittens or Fido gets in the way of 11 kilowatts invisibly flying through the air? Yes, it's still a prototype, but Porsche is finally letting people experience what it's next electric car will be like when it hits production next year. We got a briefing on the underpinnings of the new architecture for the Cayenne Electric, peeked at the very fancy finalized interior, and experienced a few hot laps being driven by one of Porsche's professional drivers. However, the highlight was, oddly, none the above, it was getting to try out the Cayenne Electric's party trick and experience exactly how Porsche's wireless charging system works for the EV, and how ridiculously similar the process is to plonking your phone down on a Qi charging puck .
