Tesla has officially acquired Germany-based wireless charging firm Wiferion.
It fits the space, but it appears a bit tight.
Owners claim that defective ports can lead to charging times of 20 hours or no charge at all.
The average distance between chargers in one state is a whopping 465 miles.
A Twitter post alleges installers had a rental Ford F-150 Lightning to test the new stalls.
Tesla is reportedly seeking almost $100 million in funding from the US government to build the 1,800-mile charging corridor.

The current prototype was shown with a NACS charging inlet.
Located in Bingen am Rhein, the pilot station offers six 300-kW DC fast-charging points and four 22-kW AC charging points.
