Just when you were getting used to the idea of wirelessly charging your iPhone 8,sarah taylor mormon eco-eroticism BMW's jumped on the bandwagon with a giant wireless charging pad for your car.
The German auto maker explains in a blog post that it's planning on making a wireless inductive charger available in 2018.

As BMW shows in this video, you'll need to carefully drive your car over the plate, aligning the charging plate under your car with the pad on the ground.
The car maker says the 530e's battery can be charged fully within 3.5 hours, comparable to how long it'd take if you plugged in your car the old-fashioned way with the wall cord.

You need to carefully place your phone more or less dead centre of the plate, before it'll start charging.
So, if it's that difficult with a phone, imagine how much harder it'll be with a car.
