Tesla has acquired the German leader in wireless charging stations, Wiferion. A sign of the development of future models.
Aiming for “Zero Constraints”. Park the car, no longer have to open the trunk, unwind the cable, and plug it in. And even less so when it’s cold or raining and you get your hands or clothes dirty.
Tesla has thus moved beyond mere interest in wireless charging, announcing that it has finalized the acquisition of the German leader in this field, the company Wiferion. Now, the question is how soon this charging solution will be offered on future models of the American brand. Will it be standard? Optional? Available at Tesla charging stations and/or marketed as an accessory to place in your garage?
Currently, induction charging systems are mainly used for autonomous vehicles without human assistance, such as in factories or automated mobility services. The charging levels are also quite limited, around 12 kW, suitable for slow charging at home for an individual. At highway rest areas, cables will still have the upper hand.
Independent companies already offer induction charging solutions for Tesla, such as Plugless Power (video below).
