Weve got some ground to cover, so lets just get the basics out of the way.

Fail to achieve perfect face-to-face connection, and it won’t get power.

So what happens when you put the technology into a car?

You face a whole new suite of problems.

Suddenly the environment is moving at inconsistent speeds and in different directions.

Even driving carefully could result in the phone breaking contact with the charger.

Thankfully, Volvo has made the car phone wireless charger work perfectly and it did it quite simply.

I previously assumed both the left and right spots could be used, but this is incorrect.

Not in the EX30.

Even then, the phone was not kept so sturdily in place.

To activate the seatbelt, youd latch it into place, pulling the plastic up.

The EX30, with its strong, rubber-based containment, perfects the approach with no moving parts.

Theres no seatbelt to latch or unlatch, as its there persistently.

The phone doesn’t drift around and stays charging quite reliably.

And it seems so simple, right?

Its not even a technical solution, its a physical solution.

The other benefit is obvious charging speed.
