Massive Qi chargers for cars!

I can see the utility of using this for slow charging. But is it really that much of a faff to plug in a cable? I wonder how perfectly aligned the car needs to be.
Still, interesting to see whether this gets picked up or standardised.

@Edent@mastodon.social Might be good at workplaces and private carparks. No cables, less things to damage.

@Edent@mastodon.social one would expect the car to be able to position itself optimally, like parking assist. (I have never driven a car with parking assist mind, so no idea how effective it it!) I am amused to imagine someone parking their car, getting out, and walking away whilst the car does a little wiggle to settle into its ideal resting spot. The car should then purr whilst charging.
