I don't think wireless EV charging will really take off- it's always going to be MUCH slower because of the I^2 losses. It's always going to be much more expensive and heavier than a plug. Solutions like battery swaps[1] or even just automatic plugs will win out at the large scale. It really only has anything to offer to individual consumers, specifically saving the seconds it takes to just plug in your car. That seems like an insane trade to make, to me. Maybe in theory some city could invest in embedding them into street parking, but I just don't think that will happen. Even if vandals started cutting plugs or something, you can buy a LOT of replacement cables for the price of one wireless charging pad.
