Michigan is planning to build the first public road in the United States where electric vehicles can charge wirelessly while driving. The ‘Inductive Vehicle Charging Pilot’, announced by Governor Gretchen Whitmer, aims to embed inductive charging technology into a stretch of road that enables electric vehicles with appropriate equipment to charge while driving. The Michigan […]
Newer approaches reduce transfer losses through the use of ultra thin coils, higher frequencies, and optimized drive electronics. This results in more efficient and compact chargers and receivers, facilitating their integration into mobile devices or batteries with minimal changes required. These technologies provide charging times comparable to wired approaches, and they are rapidly finding their way into mobile devices.
For example, the Magne Charge vehicle recharger system employs high-frequency induction to deliver high power at an efficiency of 86% (6.6 kW power delivery from a 7.68 kW power draw).
Correct, although it’s getting better

imo 86% is pretty good. But I’m not an expert on thé topic.
Although if we could dimish individuall car usage all together that would generate massive energy savings.
