Now, Porsche take this to a new lever of complexity on their newer cars. I think there's a charging port down near the driver left panel to charge the electronic hood release. I discovered that the painful way.

I've noticed there are some jumper cable clamps that are better at this than others. They have small little clasping teeth as part of the clamps.
