    Wireless charging isn’t the most efficient in the best of conditions. The efficiency drops off rapidly as the distance between the coils is increased. The coils will have to be far enough under the road that they won’t be destroyed by traffic and far enough off the ground to not get ripped off the car. Using wireless charging for something that requires 10’s of kWh per charge is a terrible idea and will waste massive amounts of power. It’s an even worse idea for stationary charging. People shouldn’t be wasting all that power because the are too damn lazy to plug a cord in.
