What is the efficiency of wireless charging. maybe for a cell phone. Sure is convenient but efficient?

“What is the efficiency of wireless charging.”

About the same as Level 2 wired charging.

Inefficient at high power. Transformer losses. And here you will have a very inefficient design as it is not all contained in one well designed package.

Inductive charging involves large magnets. Anyone in range with a pace maker is at risk.

Check the fine print on your inductive stove — certain pacemakers will ....... “not” if within arm’s reach.

Of course, few will care. But, when their cell phones and other devices that charge magnetically suddenly catch fire — oh, my!

Can’t see how it is wireless if there’s a wire from the pad to a plug in the garage. Of course, that means you’d have to make it home every night. What’s that going to do to your home insurance premiums? What about the extra pull on the power grid?

And if it works at the range of a foot, what does it do to other devices/items in the garage?
