Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?

I have one scenario where it’s useful. When in the car and entering a parking lot and you have to scan a qr/bar code on your phone, you can easily pick it up and get it out the window. That said, wireless charges on cars are terrible.

How so? I wired one into my center console and it works like a charm.

  I’ve heard lots of complaints from people owning various brands that the built-in wireless charging pads are useless. Regularly cut off, phones don’t stay in place, etc. These are for the regular Toyotas, Hondas, etc., not the high end models.

    I’d never trust built in ones. They are almost surely the cheapest possible to implement just to tick a checkbox for marketing

I have a 6.5 foot cable for the car so I can yoyo that bitch out the window if I wanted to and have it still charging at high rate at all times
