Google Installing Wireless EV Charging Stations.


The Chicago Tribune (3/23, Bird) reports, "Like smartphones, inductive charging is coming to the nascent electric car market and Google is on the forefront of using the technology." Google announced that it will be installing a wireless charger, "called Plugless Power," for EVs at its Mountain View, California headquarters. Cars will need an adapter to make use of the charging system, "but the company doesn't reveal the cost." It also said that it "expects a less than 10% efficiency loss with wireless charging."
