Yeah, this seems fake - even the exploded cross section of the charger makes no sense - it just looks like a Qi charging coil - how is actual data going to be transferred - especially high bandwidth protocols like USB C and Thunderbolt? Someone who is an actual electrical engineer can chime in, but I highly doubt that you can transfer data and charge over the same coils at the same time.

There's not even a pre-order button... seems more like a university art project than even a company looking to pre-validate demand.
