I read it but it seemed flakey.
This could be closer to scam than to reality. No one really knows the loss-rate
of wireless for high power uses or the dangers involved.
There is not much reason to suspect that there is a breakthrough here nor that
this makes either scientific or economic sense, other than the mention of
Tesla, but since they apparently are not using Tesla as a reference - where is
their data?

This is important. No doubt everyone other than auto mechanics and people who
like the hear the vroom-vroom would like to switch to electric cars. The
problem is there doesn't seem to be enough copper wire to carry all the current
required to charge all the batteries in all the electric cars. Last time I did
some rough figuring, it seemed as if the maximum number of electric cars would
be about 10% of all vehicles before the power grid was over taxed. Look at
what happens when there are brown-outs on hot days. Those air conditioners
don't draw anywhere near the current required to charge a 100% electric car
fleet.
Wireless power transmission, if really workable, would solve this problem.
Autos themselves could be set up to receive the power transmission, thereby
eliminating the requirement for such large batteries.
