Terrible development. Only yesterday I was reading about how inefficient induction charging can be. Iphone wireless charging requires 47% more power and on an international scale would lead to a significant number of additional power stations being required!

Can't help thinking that this sort of thing is probably more useful for hire e-scooters than bikes, though the industry really does need to look at standardising charging infra (plugs, voltage/amps).
