Toyota Avalon Hybrid will have wireless charging, but not the way you think

Toyota’s 2013 Avalon Limited has an integrated charging pad that fills up a phone battery simply by placing the device on the pad. When it comes with new Toyota Avalon hybrid limited, think of cell phone charging, not parking spaces with vibration pad.

The Japanese automakers which started selling the updated 2013 versions of both the standard Avalon and Avalon Hybrid this month, is offering a feature that lets drivers of both models charge up their portable devices wirelessly inside the car.

They also call it Qi wireless charging systems that involve a charging pad that’s located underneath a lid inside the car’s center console. Put your cell phone on the pad and it charges your phone automatically.

Although wireless charging of mobile devices hasn’t yet become mainstream in the home or office, it could be on the road. Toyota is adding a wireless charging pad in the car as part of a technology package. With the option, drivers and passengers can place a supported phone on the small console pad for a recharge during travel.
