Tesla has officially acquired Germany-based wireless charging startup, Wiferion, as the automaker is expected to launch its own wireless charging platform. Earlier this year, we reported that Tesla was the leading potential acquirer of Wiferion, a Germany-based wireless charging startup known for inductive charging technology for industrial robots and electric vehicles. A few months later, several German publications confirmed that Wiferion has accepted an offer to be fully acquired by Tesla. The official cost of the transaction hasn’t been disclosed, but as previously reported, it is expected to be in the high double-digits – likely between $50 and $100 million. Wiferion was founded in 2016 and has developed inductive charging solutions for industrial robots and electric vehicles.
