According to foreign media reports, Tesla said that the charging efficiency of its wireless charging system for Cybercab self-driving taxis is “much higher than 90%,” responding to previous doubts about whether the system is less efficient than wired charging.
, Tesla made the statement on October 19, after technology commentator Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) pointed out on the X platform that there is a “huge heat waste” in wireless charging systems and claimed that the “lofty goal” of wireless charging electric vehicles can only achieve “approximately 75% efficiency.
” In response, Tesla made it clear that the system was “far more than 90% efficient,” which caused Brownlee to send out a “surprised eye” emoji.
After being encouraged by another user to continue commenting, Brownlee said: “I accept the correction.
I can’t wait to wait for it to ship.

Instead of being equipped with a NACS interface.
, Although wireless charging is expected to play a role in Tesla’s future self-driving taxi plans, it wasn’t until the “We, Robot” event that the company demonstrated the system for the first time.
During the demonstration, Tesla also showed a Cybercab charging at 35% state-of-charge (SoC) and 19kW of power, exceeding the approximately 11.
5 kW of charging power provided by the Wall Connector.
It was previously believed that Tesla may have entered the field of wireless charging for electric vehicles as early as last year, when the company acquired wireless charging company Wiferion.
Although Tesla later sold Wiferion, it still retained some engineers who joined with the acquisition.
