Does the Shadow Leopard have wireless charging?

The Shadow Leopard does not have a wireless charging function. Introduction to in-car wireless charging: Inside the wireless charging pad, there is a coil that generates a magnetic field when electrified. This magnetic field is then captured by the coil in the phone, converting the magnetic field back into electric current to charge the phone. In-car wireless charging can free users from the constraints of wires, but it has insufficient charging stability, low charging efficiency, and tends to generate significant heat. Introduction to models equipped with in-car wireless charging panels: Currently, many models are equipped with wireless charging panels, such as the GAC Trumpchi GS4, Lynk & Co 01, BMW X3, Roewe RX8, and Cadillac CT6.
I've driven the Emgrand for a while, and the high-end version indeed comes with wireless charging. Its wireless charging pad is typically integrated below the center console near the gear shift area, using Qi-standard wireless charging technology, compatible with most smartphones supporting this protocol like iPhones and Android devices. Simply place your phone in the designated spot to start charging automatically, which is very convenient and eliminates the hassle of repeatedly plugging and unplugging cables. However, the charging speed is generally slower than traditional wired charging, at about 10-15W power, suitable for topping up during drives but don't expect a quick full charge. Also, note that phone cases that are too thick or contain metal can affect efficiency; in my tests, a regular plastic case worked fine. The addition of wireless charging makes the Emgrand feel more intelligent, especially during long trips when keeping your phone charged for navigation is reassuring, but lower trim models might not have this feature, so it's advisable to check when purchasing. A small tip: the charging pad's position is designed to avoid interfering with driving, and the radiation is minimal, so health concerns are basically negligible.
Recently, I helped a friend research the Trumpchi Emkoo, and some models do come with wireless charging. From what I understand, certain newer high-end variants like the top trim level have this feature installed in the center console area. Just place your compatible phone on it, and it will charge inductively—both practical and stylish. However, note that not all Emkoo models have it; entry-level versions might omit this feature, so it's best to test drive and confirm at a 4S dealership before purchasing. The user experience is quite smooth, eliminating the hassle of tangled cables and keeping the car neat and safe. Especially for someone like me who frequently uses navigation while driving, it's very convenient to just place the phone on the charger as soon as I get in. Although the wireless charging speed isn't the fastest, it's sufficient for daily emergencies. In my tests, charging for 30 minutes increased the phone's battery by about 20%. If your budget allows, it's worth adding, as it also includes overheating protection to avoid damaging your phone. Modern cars add such features to enhance convenience, and the Emkoo does a decent job at this price point.
I've compared several cars and found that the high-end version of the Shadow Leopard comes equipped with a wireless charging feature. It's typically located in the front central console area, supports the Qi standard, and is very convenient to use: just place your phone on it to automatically start charging without any cables. However, lower trim models may not have this feature and might require an optional package. Considering its practical value, wireless charging enhances the driving experience by reducing cable clutter and adding a premium feel to the interior. The additional cost is reasonable and offers good value for money. When using it, make sure to align your phone properly and remove thick cases to improve efficiency, making it ideal for heavy phone users.
