Perhaps more inexcusable is this snippet from VWUK's website:
"Not only that, but if you forget your charging cable, the Polo GTI’s got you covered with a state-of-the-art inductive charging system. All you have to do is place your compatible phone in the front storage compartment and watch your battery life increase."
