Same here, but I did figure out that the technology is a development of the existing 'Plugless' [0] by Evatran Group, Inc., and found an Idaho N.L. report dated 2014 [1] "Test Results of the PLUGLESS™ Inductive Charging System from Evatran Group, Inc." which says:
"... Note that the maximum efficiency for this operation condition of a 100-mm gap at 3.3 kW is 88.8% at X = −90 mm and Y = −30 mm ..."
Which seems to indicate they've improved the efficiency for the heavy-duty system that Evatran, Oak Ridge, Clemson and partners are reporting on now.
Then I found [2] "Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicles" which is a July 2015 Oak Ridge N.L. project update that talks about Milestones and the Technical Accomplishments.
That search of energy.gov led me to another related project [3] "Technology Requirements and Evaluations for High Power Applications of Wireless Power Transfer" (on-going research into 100kW+).
And this [4] "High Efficiency, Low EMI and Positioning Tolerant Wireless Charging of EVs".
