الهواتف الذكية لديها خاصية الشحن اللاسلكي، فلماذا لا تفعل ذلك مع السيارات؟ بعد كل شيء، البطاريات متشابهة. الجواب هو، كما هو الحال دائمًا، "الأمر معقد"، لكن تيسلا تعمل على إيجاد حل (مثل فولفو وشاومي).
According to the company's chief designer, Franz von Holzhausen, and its VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy, wireless charging is currently in the works. تم الإدلاء بهذه التصريحات كجزء من محادثة الثنائي مع جاي لينو - كان الأمر كله يتعلق بـCybertruck، ولكنه ذهب إلى طرق أخرى أيضًا. تم تضمين الفيديو الكامل أدناه.
During Leno's test drive of the finally-available Cybertruck, Von Holzhausen outright stated: "Oh, we're working on the inductive charging. So you don't need to plug something in at that point. You just pull in your garage, drive over the pad, and you're charging".
Tesla has teased such a feat before, at its Investor Day back in March, but this is the first outright confirmation we're getting from company execs that it is actually coming. الآن، بما أن هذه هي تسلا، فالغموض هو متى - بعد كل شيء، استغرقت Cybertruck أربع سنوات لتتحول من سيارة استعراضية إلى سيارة حقيقية. نأمل ألا يتم الشحن اللاسلكي بعد أربع سنوات، لكن لا يمكننا التأكد.
If marketed like this, for your own garage, then, similarly to wireless charging for phones, this won't be a 'game changer' - but a very nice thing to have nonetheless. It's not that much of a hassle to plug in a charger, but it's notnota hassle either, so this improvement in the user experience would be welcome. It will be especially useful since, we assume, it will stop mattering how you park - no more trying to get the car's charging port on the same side as your wall charger. أشياء من هذا القبيل.
Of course wireless charging would be much more of a 'game changer' if it were to be introduced for public parking places, but that's probably not where we'll see it first, if we go by what the Tesla execs said. One could easily imagine a world where every parking spot has an induction charger built-in, but one needs to remember that even for phones, wireless charging is slower than wired charging, and if that's going to be the case for cars as well, then it only really makes sense for office buildings where you go and leave your car idle for hours at a time - not necessarily highways and other places where you need charging to happen as fast as possible.
