What is Wireless Phone Charging?

They use the Qi standard. Phones can get warm. Thick cases reduce efficiency. The phone must be placed correctly on the pad, and some cars have a fan to cool it. Wireless charging is slower and less efficient than a good cable. Bank cards with chips or key cards should not be left on the pad, as they can be damaged.

How it works

Induction transfers energy to the phone.

Why it matters for your car

Metal objects can heat up. Some cases block charging.
