Word on the Straße (“street” in German) is that Tesla is acquiring the company Wiferion, a wireless charging company that has worked with more than 100 companies to provide wireless charging solutions — whether for vehicles or robots or what — since 2015. First of all, last year, wireless EV charging startup WiTricity licensed its technology to Wiferion — our only coverage of Wiferion. We have covered WiTricity for years, and it has appeared to have made breakthroughs in fast wireless charging. However, the question would be whether this is for home EV wireless charging, fast wireless charging at Superchargers, wireless charging for Semi trucks, wireless charging for Tesla robots (Optimus), or some combination of those purposes. Any other ideas on why Tesla would acquire Wiferion and what its wireless charging tech might be used for?
