Porsche demonstrates inductive EV charging at IAA

While it's neat, it's not that fast (same speed as a 60A Level 2 charger). The advancement we really need is hot swappable (and affordable) spares.

I thought induction has big losses and heat generation?

  • It does. And very tight alignment requirements.

    But for a premium carmaker the simple solution of “plug in” isn’t good enough when they have to justify the price tag.
