Moderator: Tesla has already stated that wireless charging will not be available primarily due to the high amount of power loss that wireless charging at the level needed to charge the car.
Bosch now sells a Plugless charging system for the Leaf and Volt for $3,000. It’s not stated how much power it provides, but a full Leaf charge takes 8 hours. It can be inferred that it is quite a bit lower power than the Tesla home chargers, as these cars have small batteries. A wireless supercharger would be cool, but the losses could be significant, and the costs to each vehicle could add several thousand dollars to the retail price.
