# Car Qi Charger ## Overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymtmjYjdtxE ## Universal QI Charger   This universal qi charger supports all types of smart devices so it’s really easy to add wireless charging to your projects.   We’ve used this exact setup for previous DIY projects, like our [charging stand](../../../../3d-printed-qi-wireless-charging-stand?view=all) as well as a [portable version](../../../../portable-qi-charger?view=all), so definitely check those out for more project ideas!   We designed our charging pad to precisely match the Tesla Model 3 original mat. On the back it says the mat is made out of TPU material, which is the same material we'll use for 3D printing! ![3d_printing_hero-mat-use.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/051/550/medium640/3d_printing_hero-mat-use.jpg?1520261981) ![3d_printing_qi-heros.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/051/551/medium640/3d_printing_qi-heros.jpg?1520262005) Behind our 3d printed mat is a wireless charging transmitter.   So now we can easily charge our devices without having to plug them into the console!   An extra USB port is also available to charge other devices which is nice since you won’t have to take up another USB port.   If your device doesn’t have wireless charging, you can actually add one of these [Charging Receivers](https://www.adafruit.com/category/331). They’re super thin and really easy to install, basically just plug them in and stick it to the back.   So definitely check out all of the [Qi Charging products](https://www.adafruit.com/category/331) from us! ![3d_printing_mat-back-loop.gif](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/051/549/medium640thumb/3d_printing_mat-back-loop.jpg?1520592555) ![3d_printing_qi-reciver-iphone.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/051/554/medium640/3d_printing_qi-reciver-iphone.jpg?1520263026) ## Prerequisite Guides   I suggest walking through the following guides to get a better understanding of the electronics. - [3D Printed Qi Wireless Charging Stand](../../../../3d-printed-qi-wireless-charging-stand) - [Portable Qi Charger](../../../../portable-qi-charger)   ![3d_printing_hero-use-wide.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/051/552/medium640/3d_printing_hero-use-wide.jpg?1520262520) ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/051/563/medium800/3d_printing_parts.jpg?1520266156) ### Part: M3 x 5mm Screws quantity: 4 M3 x 5mm Screws ### Universal Qi Wireless Charging Transmitter [Universal Qi Wireless Charging Transmitter](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2162) If you have a modern smart phone you may have noticed that it comes with built in wireless charging capability called 'Qi charging.' [Qi is a trademark name for a thin and smart inductive charging system](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qi_%28inductive_power_standard%29)....
