Attendees look at an electric car designed by Taiwan's Yulon Motor at the combined Taiwan Electric Car Show and the Taiwan Motorcycle Show at the World Trade Centre in Taipei.
Toyota’s new technology does away with the need to plug the car into electricity
mains using a cable.
The wireless charging device is contained in a mat, which measures about 50cm across.
When the electric car is parked, the mat is raised automatically and the AC power is delivered via the magnetic field that is created under the electric vehicle, the Daily Telegraph reported.
The first phase of testing will start in Toyota City in January.
Toyota says a typical Prius-sized model could be recharged in 90 minutes using the wireless induction system - the same amount of time needed for conventional cable charging.
One slight drawback is that drivers who do not position the car directly above the magnetic mat will find that charging takes slightly longer.
