Are you sure it wasn't the Audi Urban concept you were looking at?

That looks more like it! It would lok more lie the inter (it would also look better!) if it had a single headlight in the  middle

Now that's better.  :) And this time I can see an interrelationship!

Charging car batteries is not quite the same though. Higher amperage etc, but maybe I'm just thinking of lead acid. Still its only a concept car as most likely is the charging system!

This is where technology comes in...

The bigger, the better!

I'm sure that the iphone charger was a bit tricky for them to make in the beginning, but now they know how, it should be very simple (for them) to make a different style one.

What a load of PR gough. Tell me something I do not know. Wireless charging is by induction. Therefore road or space infrastructure is required which means backing as that is more expensive than a plug and a bit of wire. Once again this fantastic machine does, er, oh dear, about 50 miles before it doesn't work any more. So popping up to visit Richard will still take Two days. Funny how my Messerschmitt out of the same 'pidgeon hole' can do it in a less than a day and is probably cheaper. It all lets pretend stuff isn't. The answer is already out there, get on and build it at a sensible price and stop profiteering.
