Tesla Model S owners will soon be able to charge their vehicles wirelessly.
Evatran’s Plugless Power is now taking pre-orders for its Tesla Model S wireless charger with a refundable deposit of $244. Final pricing for the unit hasn’t been announced, although the $244 deposit will go towards the final purchase price. Currently the company has systems for other electrified vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt, with the wireless charger costing $1,260, a Nissan Leaf unit running $1,540 and a Cadillac ELR charger costing $1,940.
The company also mentions on the product page that Plugless is currently not available for the Tesla Roadster, Model X or upcoming Model 3, but its engineers are working to bring the technology to all Tesla models.
