That's one of the few applications I can see inductive charging making sense, especially if they can get losses pretty low...

Still don't know why that's much better than a cable though. Pretty easy to plug one in. If heat becomes a problem in high amperage charging in a cable, just imagine how big of a problem it is with induction charging.
