Wireless EV charging progress

Someday soon, plug-in cars may no longer need a plug.

Electric car drivers would simply pull into a specialised parking space when it’s time to power up, wait for a light on their dashboard to switch on, and then hop out of the car and go about their day.

This is the promise of wireless EV charging, an inductive transfer of electrons that would eliminate the need for all those pesky cords.

The article doesn't seem to mention anything about the inefficiencies of wireless charging, which I would suspect would be enormous when we're talking about the amount of power needed to charge EVs.

People already have trouble parking and they have trouble lining up their phones on wireless charging pads.

I see no way this is going to be a problem. /s

I'm trying to imagine the emr leakage from a 200kw wireless energy transfer...

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near it...

Rip the pacemaker right out of your chest.

McLaren Speedtail

Thread created in advance for the new McLaren hypercar, called the McLaren Speedtail. Here’s what McLaren will call its upcoming ‘hyper-GT’ McLaren Automotive has confirmed that its upcoming “hyper-GT”, which until now has been referred to simply as BP23, will be named the McLaren Speedtail...
