ummm. Yeah. (speaking of paying attention )Pay attention, I am talking road not parking space.
High power wireless (stationary) charging adds a lot of weight to the vehicle and is much less efficient than a simple umbilical charging cable. Is impractical fantasy.
Lets say you manage to transfer 90% of the energy to the EV BCM for use in charging the battery? 240V @ 40A on a 50A circuit is 9600W. You will be dumping 960W of heat into your garage. About same as most portable electric space heaters. This is over and above the losses in the EV to convert that power into chemical power in the battery.
Video is for the TV generation who has to be spoon fed by "marketing people". If they had a serious presentation then it will be printed so that their claims will be accurately recorded.
Vehicle in motion. Coil ONLY turns on when vehicle is OVER the Coil. That way when no vehicle is over it, there is no energy required.
We good on that part?
The stationary stuff is a bit pedestrian, and now decades established. You mind if we pass over that? The new trick is with vehicle in motion.
Early losses were around 15% (85% transferred) when South Korea started this back in 2013.
Typical numbers are now 90% transfer, and the best numbers I have seen are about 94 to 95%.
This is being done around the world by various countries and universities.

The Case for Building Electric Roads
The falling price of lithium-ion batteries may mean that electrified streets don’t make sense for private cars—but could be useful for public transit.
