Wireless EV charging gets a boost: Single standard will harmonize systems up to 11 kw
A standard for wireless charging systems and their cross-compatibility could jump start the technology and help make it more affordable.
I don't think it would replace J1772, it would be an alternative. Akin to Qi charging for your phone; you can charge wirelessly or still plug in.I think the inertia of J1772 is pretty strong now and adopting a new and different standard would be painful.
It's not very nice to keep your wife in the garage!I park outside (my wife & my toys get the garage), this would be nice to charge without having a cable. Not sure if my HOA would allow it, but it would be nice!
The hardware looks quite attractive, actually. I'm not sure why an HOA would not allow it. Looking further into the future, maybe we will see federal regulations that force the issue, similar to what happened with satellite dishes, and here in California with roof access and solar installs. Both decisions were wise and enabled homeowners to move into the future regardless of silly and restrictive local rules.I park outside (my wife & my toys get the garage), this would be nice to charge without having a cable.
