Since the mobile phone manufacturers are now beginning to include integrated wireless charging capabilities in their devices, there will be a real market developing for wireless charging in automobiles. The wireless charging will be very important to the industry, which is listening to the customer. CE4A believes that we’ll see accelerating adoption in the automotive industry, first for after-market applications, then full integration into cars and trucks.
