Chevy Volt Will Charge Your Gadgets Inductively

Wireless inductive charging is awesome. You take your gadget, set it, forget it. It’s like an infomercial. Know what’s even better? When Powermat and Chevy join forces to integrate the technology in your car, where it’s especially useful.

New Chevy Volt cars will come with the power mat integrated into it’s centre dash space, so all you have to do is equip your phone/device/gadget with the proper backplate/case and it will charge when you place it on the surface. And since it already works with over a 1000 devices, chances are there’s a way to charge what ever it is that needs charging. This is something I wouldn’t mind seeing in all new cars, because wires kinda suck.
