inductive losses

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.
GM reported a 99% efficiency for it's EV1 inductive charge port of 1996.
Seems like they've pretty much 'nailed it.'
