    Not looking forward to sidewalks and curbs covered in a tangle of car charger cables.

      It would be nice if more manufacturers would put multiple charge ports on cars. Most only have one. And I don’t think anyone is doing more than 2.

      Having one on each corner would be dope and would reduce the length of cord that often needs to be run.

        I instantly saw a car parked sideways and charging on both ends…

        I have a dirty mind.

      If shopping carts are any indication Europeans will simply plug cables back into the chargers while Americans will be dropping them on the sidewalk and hiring people to organize them.

          While I agree with the drawbacks of wireless charging, it could prevent cables obstructing pedestrians and prevent vandalism. Maybe it’s a good idea for street parking
