Yes, still A prototype, but Porsche is finally letting people experience what’s next Electric car It will be like when production hits next year. We got a rundown of the underpinnings of the Cayenne Electric’s new architecture, caught a glimpse of the ultra-luxurious interior, and witnessed a few hot laps driven by one PorscheProfessional drivers.
However, the highlight was, oddly, the lack of the above, it was more about trying the Cayenne Electric trick and experiencing exactly how Porsche’s wireless charging system works with an electric car, and how ridiculously similar the process of putting your phone down is. Imp charging Qi.
Remember us BMW3.2 kilowatts Try 2018this new wireless version of Porsche is finally fit for purpose because it can charge at the rates you get from home wall chargers for electric vehicles — up to 11 kW. This means that by simply moving the 50kg floor pad, owners will be able to get the SUV fully charged in 11 hours or so, saving the 108kWh battery power overnight without having to physically plug it in. (Porsche covered part of my travel expenses so I could see this in action.)
But how do you line up that floor pad and get it in the right place to start charging when you can’t see the black pad as it disappears out of your line of vision as you roll toward the pad? Porsche naturally sought to use the cabin’s central screen that transitions to a camera covered in red and green lines for guidance, as well as a green circle to help you reach the impressive 11-kilowatt charging point.
