    Default Infiniti to offer a cordless electric car in 2014

    Would not mind having this option on my Volt:

    As this article mentions, GM is working on this.

    NO Thanks, the 499 ESEV is a rip off, you'll be spending north of 5K for cordless ones

    Not for me. I won't consider an electric car without an ICE as backup. And, I would never consider anything other than an American badged automobile.

    I love it. Wireless charging is the future. Would I spend $5K for it? Nope. But prices will drop. From the car side it's not a big deal.

    Actually prices will be in the $2500 range for some of the first wireless units. Expensive? Yes, but to some people spend that much on audio or Nav for their cars.

    I am actually 1 of 500 getting wireless charging installed in my MY13 Volt sometime in the Fall. Price is similar to Coulomb charger and install without the DOE grant.

    Google around here has a few test cars using http://www.pluglesspower.com - personally I believe wireless vehicle charging solves a problem that really doesn't exit.

    Will it require a permit? If so then it's going to be a lot more expensive than a plug-in 240v charger. You will though have to keep us posted on how it goes. I'm jealous.
