Wireless phone charging pads are common accessories to pair with a smartphone in 2024, with almost every new flagship device now capable of charging without a plug-in cable. It’s become a popular addition to car cockpits, as automakers attempt to give the vehicle a more premium appeal – however it’s often done quite poorly. The Volvo EX30, however, has aced the assignment, and it's cause for celebration.
We’ve got some ground to cover, so let’s just get the basics out of the way. Think about the mode of operation with a wireless charger; your phone needs to be placed on a mat or puck that perfectly aligns with the wireless charging components between both devices. Fail to achieve perfect face-to-face connection, and it won't get power. It’s a pain for many wireless charger users, made even worse when the charging pad isn't the right size for the phone (though this is rarely an issue).
