Volvo signals 'end of the solely combustion engine-powered car'
Can we please standardize charging stations to not require a person to manually establish a connection? It seems that it would pose such an awkward and unnecessary hurdle. Especially in the coming age of self driving cars.<p>Every time you arrive or leave you have to remember to (dis-)connect the charger. Why not just have some kind of inductive energy transfer or I dunno... something.<p>Edit1: Heh, this could work I guess: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMM0lRfX6YI" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMM0lRfX6YI</a> - seems it could be too expensive for mass-usage though.<p>Edit2: This is more what I had in mind: <a href="https://www.pluglesspower.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pluglesspower.com/</a>
