Yeah. Don't forget cost of development.You can always have two ports, and place one port under the car in a recessed space. Just saying.
If that ever comes to be, I'll probably stop by my local supercharging station on my way home from work just to watch them for a while.But who will see this sci-fi snake when the car drives alone all by it self into the charging station?![]()
Disclosures (I am with Plugless and we did not work with Tesla on our system) - on efficiency. We think all inductive chargers should be judged by the following three criteria - 1. What is the TOTAL wireless system efficiency as compared to the corded equivalent (not the efficiency just across the gap, as an example) 2. As provided by 3rd-party testing and 3. on a production system. To that end our Gen1 Plugless system (the 3.3kW charger available for Volt, LEAF and ELR) is 7% efficient compared to level 1 charger and roughly ~12 less efficient than level 2 corded charging. 2. per the testing of Idaho Nat'l Labs (USDOE) who requires publishing -https://avt.inl.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/evse/PLUGLESSEvatranStandaloneTestResultsFactSheet.pdf and 3. we've been selling that system for two years (with installations across North America)
Our Gen2 System (which the Tesla S system is) will have data from INL and we expect the numbers to be the same. (it takes some time for results, as INL does thousands of test cycles - more than 8700 for our Gen1 system, for example).
Tesla's current on-board charger has about 96.1% efficiency at 8.4 kW.
Yes I do.
Ideal Charge Rate??
