The BMW automaker is already testing this technology, as it has partnered with Daimler, the wireless charging technology being based on two components.

The two components include the floor-mounted base plate, fitted with another coil, and secondly, the recharging coil found in the floor of the car.

In order for the wireless charging to be successful, the driver would have to position the car so that the two coils would intertwine directly, so that the energy would be transmitted through a generated magnetic field.

The wireless charging technology is considered to be extremely efficient, as it will take less than 3 hours to fully charge, instead of spending 7 to 8 hours using a power outlet.

The efficiency system will stand at 90 percent and both i3 and i8 will also tweak a smartphone app that would let its drivers to check on the battery power, the charger, and much more.
