Porsche’s Cayenne Electric gains an 11 kW wireless charging pad that’s now available to order in Europe, delivering about 90% charge efficiency thanks to a larger receiver and transmitter; a U.S. launch is planned for 2027.
Jalopnik tester Chris Tsui put the base Cayenne Electric through a real-world DC fast-charging session and found it can charge from about 13% to 80% in 16 minutes, with peak observed around 349 kW and speeds around 270 kW as it neared 80%. The 85.2 kWh fill cost CAD 68 (~$50 USD). Porsche lists a 390–400 kW max, but the test did not see that peak; still, the Cayenne Electric sits among the fastest-charging EVs and demonstrates the practicality of high-kW charging, aided by its dual cooling system. 400 kW chargers remain relatively rare in North America.
Porsche’s Cayenne Electric Turbo Coupe is the brand’s most powerful production car at 1,139 hp, driven by a 113‑kWh pack with 400 kW charging that can sustain peak power to about half a charge and catapult 0–60 mph in 2.4 seconds. Available as a SUV or a sleeker Coupe, the Turbo adds active ride suspension for notably smoother, sharper handling, though range sits around 390–415 miles on WLTP and cargo space is reduced in the Coupe. Prices start near $113,800 for the base Cayenne Coupe Electric, with the Turbo around $220,000 as tested with options, and Porsche also offers an expensive wireless charging setup.
