Tesla unveiled a preview of its upcoming wireless charging technology for the portless Robotaxi Cybercab during the 'We, Robot' event. An animation displayed behind CEO Elon Musk teased a charging speed of 19 kW at 35% state of charge, while a screen in another demonstration showed a charging speed of 25 kW. The new wireless inductive charging system eliminates the need for charging ports on the vehicles, potentially improving efficiency and combating charging cord thefts. Tesla has released a new video showcasing this technology, and observers noted that the wireless charging speed is faster than expected. While the company has teased wireless charging before, this latest demonstration suggests Tesla is serious about implementing it.
