For me I wonder why bother as with automatic transmission one loses at least 10% in efficiency and it takes less than 5 sec to move the stick.For me i wonder why bother as with inductive charging one loses at least 10% in efficiency and it takes less than 5 sec to plug in.

That seems like a big drawback.Inductive charging is low power
Perhaps.Because of this it could be more efficient than higher power conductive charging with active battery cooling,.
While the technology is just starting, it will be a key factor when selling EVs in urban areas. Those who live in apartment buildings and cannot easily find a place to plug and charge will benefit from induction charging when parked on streets. When the bugs are eliminated it could be similar to a parking meter. Also eliminates potential vandalism to the charge connection.For me i wonder why bother as with inductive charging one loses at least 10% in efficiency and it takes less than 5 sec to plug in.
I can see this being desirable by the operator of EV Fleets, as we already have some drivers who forget to plug in when they drive one of our company fleet EVs. And perhaps in the multi-unit development uses mentioned above. But in the garage where most people charge their EVs, I don't think the benefits are worth the cost. Plugging in is automatic and fast...Who wants a disk buried in their garage floor or surface mounted that you have to park right on top of? Not to mention the $$$ cost...
No thanks..
Any damage would be heating damage, as RF radiation can't change DNA.I do wonder what the potential health effects are with wireless charging.
What charge rate are you assuming here?Inductive charging makes a lot of sense in a lot of places.
As we all know, our daily driving uses few miles that are easy to replace. Even a big day of local driving I rarely go over 70-80 miles at a time. The ability to just pull into my garage and not bother with the charging cable each and every day would be a pleasure. I don't have to worry about my wife or my kids (when they start driving) remembering to plug in.
didn't have a specific number in mind, maybe 10-15 mph.What charge rate are you assuming here?

Ok, so basically 1/3 to 1/2 the rate of a 14-50. Yah, I'd love that at home for daily charges without having to plug in.didn't have a specific number in mind, maybe 10-15 mph.
I was at CES in Las Vegas this week. Qualcomm was showing inductive charging technology, one of which was a 20 kW model, potentially useful for a Tesla. http://www.qualcomm.com/solutions/wireless-charging/qualcomm-halo
