Wireless charging — simple, tidy, and finally good enough for NZ workplaces

Wireless charging used to be a gimmick — slow, fussy, and unreliable.

That’s changed.

Today, the best wireless chargers are fast, stable, and genuinely useful in offices, hospitality spaces, and public venues. They reduce cable clutter, keep desks tidy, and stop the daily “who stole the charger?” problem before it starts.

At Powercore, we specialise in wireless charging solutions that are practical, NZ-stocked, and designed for real environments — not just Instagram bedside tables.

What wireless charging is (and what it isn’t)

Wireless charging lets you charge your phone by placing it on a charging pad or stand — no cable plugging in and out.

It’s ideal for:

desks and hot-desking setups
reception counters
meeting rooms
hotel rooms and lobbies
event spaces
shared charging areas

It’s not designed to replace every cable in your life — but it’s brilliant for the places where people charge all the time.

The 3 things people get wrong about wireless charging

1) “Wireless charging is slow”

Cheap wireless chargers are slow.
Good wireless chargers are now absolutely fast enough for everyday use — especially for “top-up charging” during the workday.

2) “It only works if you place the phone perfectly”

Older designs were fiddly.
Modern stands and pads are far more forgiving, and the newest standards improve alignment even further.

3) “It’s just for home”

Wireless charging is made for shared spaces — because it removes the single biggest failure point: cables disappearing, breaking, or not matching someone’s phone.

Qi, Qi2, MagSafe… what’s the difference?

Wireless charging standards have evolved, and the names can get confusing.

Here’s the simple version:

Qi is the original wireless charging standard (still very common)
Qi2 is the newer standard, designed for better alignment and improved performance
MagSafe is Apple’s magnetic alignment system (Qi2 is heavily influenced by this approach)

If you want something future-proof, look for Qi2 or MagSafe-compatible chargers — especially for iPhone-heavy workplaces.

What type of wireless charger should you buy?

There isn’t one “best” wireless charger — there are a few best options depending on the space.

Wireless charging stands

Best for desks, reception counters, and anywhere people want to glance at their phone while it charges.

Wireless charging pads

Best for clean minimal setups, bedside tables, meeting rooms, and shared spaces where people just want to drop the phone down and walk away.

Multi-device chargers

Best for:

shared desks
executive desks
hotel rooms
staff rooms
anywhere that needs to charge a phone + earbuds + watch

Wireless charging for offices (the real reason it matters)

Wireless charging isn’t just a gadget — it’s a small infrastructure upgrade.

In offices, it helps you:

reduce desk cable mess
stop chargers walking off
keep spaces looking tidy for clients
make hot-desking more workable
improve the day-to-day experience of the space

If you’re building out desks or meeting rooms, you may also want to look at our desk power solutions for clean, compliant setups.
