"This is within the expected range of the thermal limits of the envisaged mechanical design of the coils and also indicates a minimum of 98% coil-to-coil power transfer efficiency."
Key here is coil-to-coil, NOT total charging efficiency, let alone "better than wired." Worse, it was a stationary setup with a distance of 5 inches between coils, so adding asphalt, protection for the car's coil, etc. is just going to make it worse.
