wireless charging?

My VW Golf R has wireless charging for the phone

Wireless charging the most useless inefficient way to charge a batter. To start with you have to make a power oscillator running at a high frequency as 50 hz is very inefficient induction wise without a metal core as its just a transformer after all. The higher the frequency the smaller the transformer. Look inside a modern wall wart. However all this conversion and conversion back to dc in the phone is a loss of efficiency as is the coupling itself, often needing to be very precise. If its that close to work use a bloody plug!

Have a listen to this audio.

Brian Gaff (Sofa) was thinking very hard :

I don't have one, but I can see the point of them. Constant wear and tear on the charge socket of the phone, plus easy to just drop onto a charging surface.

I now use a magnetic plug and socket. You just hold the phones charge socket close to the plug and they pull together to make charging contact, no wear and reasonably quick to connect.
