According to new patents, Apple is working on creating a sort of larger MagSafe charger for its electric car.
Although those of Cupertino choose not to say anything in public, it does not seem to be a secret that they are working on the creation of a kind of intelligent vehicle. In fact, according to popular analysts such as Ming-Chi Kuo, the Apple Car will be ready by 2025, with ever-decreasing time for its launch.
While the team behind the development of this vehicle has changed many times, the truth is that according to patents and speculation, a common factor is that The Apple Car was an all-electric car. It makes sense given the sustainability values that Apple has been trying to instill in the company for years, but it also involves some problems when searching for charging stations
The Apple Car could arrive with an improved version of MagSafe according to the latest Apple patents
While refueling a petrol or diesel car is straightforward in the vast majority of countries, with petrol stations every few kilometres, finding an electric charging station its not always easy. In fact, for the Apple Car it will be even more complicated, since everything indicates that will have a special connector, probably very similar to MagSafe Mac computers but larger.
Finding a way to charge the Apple car doesn’t seem like an easy task for the people of Cupertino
Recently, a new Apple patent titled “Charging station with passive alignment mechanism” and, although as usual few details are clear about this, everything indicates that it could be related to the way of charging the Apple car. The idea that this patent conveys is a kind of charging point, in which the car would start get energy directly from the parking lot.
To do this, the charger in question would arrive with a kind of sliding rods, capable of adapt the position of the charger to the vehicle according to the needs of each user. Charger could be fixed properly vertical and horizontal movement
According to this patent, as AppleInsider comments, the car would have some kind of rear cover where the end of the MagSafe charger would be. Thus, when the driver approach the car charging point, this door will open to allow connection to the electric current.
This is what the MagSafe charger that the Apple Car would incorporate could look like according to one of the last approved patents
The patent, attributed to authors Matthew M. Torok, Foster D. Collins and William M. Price, also suggests the use of magnets to improve grip and grip from the charger to the car, which is why it looks so much like the MagSafe charger on Mac.
However, it should be noted that the fact that Apple filed this patent should not imply that you will use it in the future. Every month we see various details, and it is even possible that another similar patent will appear in time to charge electric cars. Now the fact that it’s a big loader leaves more clues as to what might be related to the development of the Apple Caror another device that is larger in size.
