On this page indicates that the optional wireless plugs can be charged wirelessly using AirPower, but this accessory is "currently unavailable."

Prior to this, the company's website, it was stated that the beginning AirPower sales is expected in 2018, and now the device is unlikely to see the light. Recall, wireless charging Apple had to get an important function - to charge two devices simultaneously and wirelessly.
