There are some interesting idea with wireless charging as theory that would be useful and interesting. For example stretches of road that may have wireless charging, but obviously the cost vs return is just not there. Or if you are operating a commercial fleet it may be useful to have a parking area already wireless for overnight charging without relying on plugs, people to plug them in, and having to put the cable etc.
Its a neat “toy” for sure, and I am all for it. I am just a little puzzled by why its important and a little annoyed how the complicated engineering issues are reduced to simplistic demonstrations of how it’s just as “efficient” as cable. If you want to see the truth look at wireless charging of cell phones. There is a huge amount of money and effort thrown into a very large and profitable market. Yes there are size constraints that limit its efficiency, but then again the power levels needed are much lower.
