Tonight's thought: The Magne Charge inductive EV charging system (J1773) makes a lot of sense in wet/dirty environments where a normal plug would be dangerous or just damage-prone. Farm equipment, boats, systems that need to autonomously plug and unplug are all good candidates.
Just because it didn't catch on with automotive uses doesn't mean it's worth dustbinning.
