Mercedes-Benz S550e will integrate a wireless-charging system developed by Qualcomm into the Mercedes-Benz S550e-Benz S550e plug-in hybrid, in what it says is the first time it has been offered as a factory option. To charge the car, it must be parked over a pad on the ground that contains a set of coils, which transfer the energy using a dense magnetic field, currently running at 3.6 kW. Mercedes-Benz S550e is also working on an under-road system that will charge cars as they drive.
