Tesla Announces Plans for Wireless Charging Pads for Electric Cars
In a groundbreaking move for the electric vehicle industry, Tesla has announced plans to introduce wireless charging pads for their cars, eliminating the need for superchargers or wall chargers. According to Tesla’s head of design, the company is working on an inductive wireless charging solution that will allow garage owners to equip their homes with wireless charging pads.
During a recent ride with Jay Leno in the Cybertruck, Tesla confirmed that they are developing a system that will allow Teslas to simply drive over the charging pads in their garage and begin charging. This development aims to address the issue of forgetting to plug in the car overnight, and will provide a seamless charging experience for Tesla owners.
The company teased its wireless induction charging pad during its 2023 Investor Day presentation, showcasing the upcoming Hollywood Supercharger. A Model S was also parked in a garage with a new charger, which is believed to be the inductive wireless charging system known internally as “Project Garfield.”
In a move that further solidifies Tesla’s commitment to wireless charging, the company recently acquired wireless charging company Wiferion, taking over its assets and retaining its engineers. This acquisition suggests that Tesla is moving full steam ahead with its plans for wireless charging technology.
According to Tesla’s design chief, the wireless charging experience in “Project Garfield” will be as simple as parking in the garage and driving the car over the pad to begin charging.
This move by Tesla is a significant step forward for the electric vehicle industry, and it is expected to revolutionize the way electric cars are charged. With the convenience and simplicity of wireless charging pads, Tesla owners will no longer have to worry about finding a charging station or remembering to plug in their cars, making the charging process seamless and hassle-free.
As the company continues to innovate and push the boundaries of electric vehicle technology, the introduction of wireless charging pads is evidence of Tesla’s dedication to providing a superior driving experience for their customers.
