That technology is nothing more than a theory and is in it's infancy and probably decades away. In order for superconducting to work. You would need to have a lage part of the distribution system to be composed of super conducting materials. When I said units. I meant you would have to have a control unit for each "pad". Cordless charging is nothing more than a gimmick. What is the difference between plugging the charging unit into the car. Or parking over a charging mat. Except you save 30 seconds. Cordless charging is also less efficient. Lots of energy loss to heat.
Bro it's not a theory it's being demonstrated today but it's only been 2 days and replication is being achieved with mixed results so far. And in the article I posted the wireless charger works as fast as corded and when this room temp superconductor comes on line (eventually) there will be no wasted power. The cost to charge a Tesla at home is about $10 for 300+ miles and superchargers are free for a lot of people. I don't own one I love my gas car but with Toyota announcing a 900 mile battery in the works (along with everyone else working at a furious pace) EV's (mostly Tesla) will be the obvious choice for a lot of people.
