Wireless charging will soon go large scale thanks to the partnership between Continental tire and tech startup Volterio. The result is more than just a charging pad. It’s an actual robot that sits on the floor of the garage and lines up with the underbody portion that connects to your car. The two pieces communicate with each other, and the charging commences. The best part is the fact that charging efficiency isn’t diminished due to the fact that there is a physical connection. Better than inductive charging, tremendously convenient, and incredibly ingenious, the Charging Robot is planned for production, but no date has been disclosed.
