What is Tesla's Induction charging? Can it revolutionize EV charging?

Hey Explorers,

Today I'm going to talk about something different. Apart from the regular New launches which I post regularly, but about the latest Means of charging your EV.

We know that EVs are the future and hence majority car manufacturers have moved to full EV or in hybrid mode. Beyond all of that, Tesla(space X of EV) has introduced 2 new cars for next generation as well as new means of charging.

Tesla unveiled its innovative new Cybercab earlier today (11th October 2024). While that's impressive, let's see.

One innovation that stood out was the innovative new wireless charging technology. So what is it all about? Can it revolutionize electric vehicles?

• Tesla Cybercab: What makes it special?

It is a two seater vehicle that is designed to offer a relaxing ride to passengers. This is clearly signified in Tesla’s decision to remove the steering wheel entirely. The Cybercab arrives with a gold finish on the exterior, with a light bar that houses matrix headlights.

The smart taxi also relies heavily on cameras and sensors for a 360 degree view. Its hatchback design blends comfort with a lounge-like atmosphere. Elon is clearly pushing hard on the FSD (full self driving) cars with this announcement.

• Induction Wireless Charging: Future of EVs?

Tesla Cybercab could be changing the game in electric vehicles. The robotaxi is the first of its kind, introducing wireless induction charging technology. Why is this so important? current gen EVs still have a wired charging format. But the new Cybercab features no physical charging port, the first Tesla car to remove it. Thanks to inductive charging, the self driving vehicle charges wirelessly using electromagnetic fields to transfer energy from a charging pad to the battery.

The Possibilities are Endless

Interesting speculations have also pointed at the induction tech possibly using mats or tracks on roads as well. All of this, in theory, could also help with the long queues at public charging stations that plague cities that have a higher adoption of EVs. There are many issues related to charging faced by EV owners.

One of the big issues also includes charging station compatibility. The infrastructure around EVs for the public includes meeting the requirements to plug and power your car. But these incompatibility problems might disappear if the entire EV segment switches to a common wireless charging standard like Qi wireless charging on smartphones.

Although, it is still too early to tell since we’re still a few years from such vehicles hitting the road, Tesla's Cybercab does offer us a glimpse of EVs in the future.

That's it for today, I know that all of this still it's very interesting but still it's more of a dream for me personally until and unless it's in mass. Moreover, let's see how it unfolds and how the masses react…

Ciao
