VIDEO: Mopar Creates Industry First Wireless Charger!

Chrysler Group LLC’s Mopar division has come up with a new innovation and it’s wireless charging and is considered to be the first in industry to eliminate the use of wires to charge your smart phone.

Who doesn’t own a smart phone that’s on battery life-sucking 3G these days and how many of us carry our chargers along with us just in case or how many of us have in-car charger(s) for that matter? We’re pretty sure one of you (including us), if not all of you, reading this falls into one or more of those categories.

Called a “power bin” and measuring 8.27″ x 9.5″ x 3.25″, it has a built-in charging grid that gets activated when they simply place their device on it.

Lets face it, many of us own an iPhone these days and while we just love the heck out of it, its battery life always seems to leave us wanting. So all you need to do is slip on that special phone case, which has extrememly small pins on the back of it, and then place it on the power bin to charge your phone.

Although it doesn’t seem to mention which specific phones are able to be charged via their “power bin”, so far it’s been indicated that they’re able to charge iPhone, Blackberry, MP3 Players and Droid-based devices.

The big question is, when are other manufacturers going to follow suit with this particularly innovative piece of equipment that’s going to de-clutter your ride’s cabin from charging cable(s)? For now, lets just pray for ‘soon’.
