Last week, when Tesla showed off the Cybercab's prototype concept design, CEO Elon Musk was clear that it wouldn't have a charging port. Instead, it would charge wirelessly-a cool idea, but no one was sure exactly how that would work.
Still, if this is true, 25 kW wirelessly is pretty dang impressive, considering that wireless charging tends to be more lossy compared to a wired physical connection.
Interestingly, the video could give us hints as to what battery equipment the Cybercab is working with, and what range it could hold. The animation showed a rumored target of 200 miles of range, from an average efficiency of 5.5 miles per kWh.
