Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

There is a regional chain of grocery stores in my area that have level 2 and 50Kw level 3 chargers. They give you 1 free hour of level 2 charging per day (per location, I later discovered). At 9.6k charge rate, its not a huge savings, but I almost always use it when I grocery shop and its nice to come out to the car with 5% or 8% charged added.
beautiful I wonder if one day it'll be as simple as parking your car and having it wirelessly charge without even thinking about it
There was a company called Wiferion that was bringing this exact product to market. They were bought by Tesla though and nothing has since come out.
There is another company called Witricity that claims to have a product ready in 2025.
I assume it was "Wi-fer-i-on", but i keep reading it as "Wife-rion".
But still, very cool
Knowing Tesla they'll just slap some sort of subscription fee on it 🙄
