Wiferion, a German wireless charging products start-up that was acquired by Tesla this summer for an undisclosed sum, has been sold to German-based Puls Power.
Tesla’s foray into the wireless power delivery systems was a short one, but that doesn’t mean that the contactless vehicle charging pad that was teased during the company’s Investor Day event back in March is dead. According to The Robot Report, Wiferion, a German wireless charging products start-up that was acquired by Tesla this summer for an undisclosed sum, has been sold to German-based Puls Power, which makes DIN rail power supplies.
Back in 2015, the Elon Musk-led EV maker showed a prototype of a charging robot that was capable of finding its way to the charging port of the Model S, but the idea was never put into mass production. Fast-forward to March 2023 and a teaser image of a wireless charging pad that was apparently topping up the batteries of a Model S was shown for a brief moment during the manufacturer’s Investor Day event, next to a photo of a Tesla Diner.
