I saw this article today on VOX about Wireless Inductive EV Charging Technology:

I believe this is a much needed step to giving EV’s the convenience factor of a gas powered vehicle. Just park your EV over the inductive charger and your done! Nice!
I’m curious about the safety factors? i.e., no human hands near or over the inductive pickup when charging – I’d assume it would be equivalent sticking your hand in microwave oven on full power! But I’m sure the engineers at MIT are figuring this out!
I think Nikola Tesla would approve; I’m pretty sure one of his life pursuits was to provide a wireless electrical distribution system.
