Fragmented induction charging field thins as organizations unite

Two rival consortiums defining "wireless" power standards have merged specifications, narrowing the field of organizations competing to define how mobile devices are charged when they are not plugged into power outlets. (In most cases, the power is not delivered wirelessly, but instead uses contact-based induction rather than a direct plug.)

Wireless charging groups agree to cooperate
2014-02-11 16:45:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP) and Power Matters Alliance (PMA) have announced that the two associations have signed an agreement to establish global interoperability of these two wireless power standards. The agreement calls for the following immediate next steps: PMA adopts the A4WP Rezence specification as the PMA magnetic resonance charging specification for both transmitters and receivers in both single and multi-mode configurations, A4WP adopts the PMA inductive specification as a supported option for multi-mode inductive, magnetic resonance implementations and A4WP to collaborate with PMA on their open network API for network services management. Board members from A4WP and PMA represent a cross section of industry leaders who unanimously voted to approve the agreement. Voting members included Broadcom, Gill Electronics, IDT, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics and Samsung Electro-Mechanics from A4WP, and Starbucks, Procter & Gamble, and Powermat Technologies from PMA. The agreement establishes the goal to create a commercially viable wireless charging ecosystem that delivers a true drop and go charging experience for consumers.

Many Owners Compulsively Top Up Their Batteries Pity the poor Tesla owner.

Some of these overusers are admitted freeloaders. "If it's free, I'll take it," Michael DeLune, a Tesla owner and admitted freeloader, told the Orange County Register. "I've done that on occasions."
