Nissan Takes Wireless EV Charging To The Streets – And Kerbs (Video)

Nissan has demonstrated how the “Fuel Station Of The Future” (Nissan’s words) might work, with a new wireless charging concept for electric vehicles.

BMW previously revealed a concept that uses street lamp poles as charge points, but the Nissan concept has simplified charging to the everyday act of parking next to a kerb.

The Japanese carmaker has limited the information about its new concept to a teaser video, which shows a Nissan Leaf approaching a kerb displaying an LED light.

Upon parking, a Nissan logo appears and the LEDs change colour, presumably to indicate that charging has begun.

The concept was developed in conjunction with Foster & Partners, and is scheduled for an official unveiling in March (perhaps at the Geneva Motor Show).
