GM to start adding wireless charging to new models...

...but you won't be able to use it because they are using Powermat. Apparently GM bought into Powermat at some point, so they figured they would use it in their vehicles. Too bad nobody I know uses Powermat, ever. Single most worthless option in a car....This is why Qi (or any one method of wireless charging) needs to become the one and only standard.

And, that is what you call a case of being useless.

So GM uses Powermat, Toyota uses Qi. This should be good.

This is HD DVD vs BluRay all over again.

Except during the optical battle, some people used HD DVD. Powermat has been nothing but a joke.
