Tesla Announces Acquisition of Wiferion

Who Are Wiferion?

Founded in 2016 by researchers who developed the world’s most efficient inductive charging system, Wiferion has rapidly ascended as a trailblazer in the wireless power supply domain. In a short span, they've established themselves as the global frontrunner for wireless power solutions for industrial electric vehicles.

With a presence spanning over 20 countries and collaborations with major logistics, e-commerce companies, and nearly every German car manufacturer, Wiferion’s footprint in the EV charging landscape is undeniable.

Their commitment to revolutionizing intralogistical workflows and enhancing fleet efficiency has set them apart, making their acquisition by Tesla a strategic masterstroke.

Why Has Tesla Acquired Wiferion?

The acquisition suggests that Tesla is moving towards wireless charging technology for its electric fleet. The automotive industry is changing rapidly and failure to adapt to the ever-changing conditions results in getting left behind. Tesla’s acquisition allows them to remain at the forefront of the EV world and will set new standards for the automotive industry.  

How Easy is it to Charge an EV?

Plugging in EVs is very simple and quick. Tesla currently has a global network of over 40,000 stations, so it’s likely you’re never too far away from one.

Superchargers, designed for speed, can add almost 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes. And for those who prefer the comfort of their driveway, home chargers are also an option. There are also Destination Chargers – found in popular resorts such as hotels. You can even charge them on third-party chargers, although we recommend you always use official ones.
