Cayenne Electric is the first Porsche to offer (optional) wireless charging – you simply position the front wheels either side of an 11kW inductive plate. Maximum (plugged-in) charging speed for the 113kWh battery is 400kW, allowing for a potential 10-80% fill-up in 16 minutes.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric at its London debut. These ‘Active Aeroblades’ extend from the Turbo’s rear wings when Sport Plus mode is engaged – or if you activate launch control – to smooth airflow down the sides of the car.
