Tesla wireless EV chargers in the works; Patent filed

It has been speculated that the upcoming Tesla Robotaxi could get this feature, as well as the Cybertruck.

According to reports, Tesla is said to be working on introducing its very own wireless EV charging system.

A document released on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) shows that Tesla filed a patent application for its wireless charging system earlier this year. Reports state that the charging ground pad will be connected to a wall box. This floor pad will theoretically charge the EV by sending electricity via inductive coils, both on the pad and on the underside of the car.

Tesla, though, has yet to officially announce the wireless charging system and the vehicles that will get this feature. However, it has been speculated that the upcoming Tesla Robotaxi could get this feature, as well as the Cybertruck.

Rumours of the Tesla wireless charging pad have been doing the rounds for the past few years, especially since the carmaker acquired Wiferion - a German startup specialising in wireless charging products.
