Nissan wants to bring wireless charging technology to electric cars
- 8 years ago
Electric car owners get to enjoy a certain level of pride in saying that they never have to deal with gas stations and dirty fuel-filler nozzles.
Most of those owners would likely agree that not having to deal with cords and charging ports would be another great step forward, however.
Soon, if Nissan and several other automakers have their way, that day will come, as wireless charging systems and smart charging controls will take away that "hands on" obligation-provided you park in designated charging spots.
Nissan has been working to develop wireless charging for a number of years, and we've sampled some of these systems in the past.
The charging-systems supplier Bosch has even provided a wireless-charging system that can be fitted to your garage floor and either the Nissan Leaf or Chevrolet Volt.
