Use of technologies based on wireless energy sharing are extending to more and more applications yielding a fast-growing market in the consumer electronics sector. Society and industry should overcome obstacles for stakeholders to fully take advantage of this technological opportunity: The current wired (and non-P2P wireless)-based development model that makes charging applications highly centralised and inflexible generates inconvenience to users. The P2P wireless energy sharing vision that universally accessible standards can have the same positive effects on society as wired energy sharing standards and has identified P2P wireless energy sharing interactions as an area where standards can foster the development of innovative approaches, promote use of P2P applications and contribute to the solution of existing social energy sharing challenges.
