Tesla is working on a revolutionary development for electric vehicles: accelerating its work on wireless charging technology.
Throughout the year, there have been rumors about Tesla‘s wireless charging concept. The company acquired Wiferion, a Europe-based company, to develop this technology. Wiferion had previously collaborated with Tesla, featuring its vehicles in promotional videos. Tesla completed the acquisition of Wiferion in July, retaining the company’s engineering team.
Tesla’s Electric Vehicle Strategy Evolves
Wireless charging is not just a practical solution for vehicle users; it’s also a step towards preparing for Tesla’s autonomous driving technology. This technology will enable vehicles to charge independently, freeing drivers from this task.
In the past, Tesla preferred to use automatic robotic arms for charging. However, the recent acquisition of a startup focused on wireless charging stations indicates a shift in Tesla’s strategy.
Tesla’s new wireless home charging station underscores the company’s leading role in the transition to autonomous driving technology. Although the launch date is not yet known, this innovative step seems set to attract significant interest in the electric vehicle market. Further details and updates are awaited from the company’s official announcements.
