Tesla has made a major investment in a new type of technology — one that would allow drivers to charge their EVs without any plugs at all. In the perhaps not-so-distant future, drivers could charge their Teslas by simply parking on top of a charging pad, making the process incredibly easy.
Wireless charging technology would allow for chargers to be built into the roads themselves, eliminating both range anxiety and the need for drivers to stop for charging. “Once wireless is in the roads and you’re driving from San Diego to San Francisco without having to stop and charge, there’s no going back,” said Jeremy McCool, founder of wireless charging startup called HEVO.
