Wirelessly recharge anything
Wireless power company WiTricity announced on Thursday that it has entered an intellectual property licensing agreement with Toyota(s tm). The auto-maker will “offer wireless charging power capture devices on their future rechargeable hybrid electric and battery electric vehicles,” meaning that its cars won’t need to be physically plugged in for a re-charge. Instead, using WiTricity’s technology, the vehicles will get their battery charge without wires, presumably through a charging pad on the ground under the vehicle.
