Is anyone aware of a wireless charger that would enable the fast charging speeds of the charger in the box?

I believe the limitation of Qi is 500 - 700 mA unfortunately.
I think, but not sure, that you can use and qi wireless charger as long as it's connected with the included (and rather large) Droid Turbo power adapter.

I cant imagine you would need to use the turbo charger for this. Like SBC44 said the speed is going to be limited fairly low with wireless charging. It wouldn't be possible to charge that fast with wireless technologies, at least not with the current technology. The turbo charger moves a lot of juice.
Here is some good reading if your interested.

From the article "Slower charging – due to the lower efficiency, devices can take longer to charge when supplied power is equal."

I dont think so.. wall chargers are more powerful than wireless chargers.. Wireless chargers are still need to improve alot..
Wireless charging takes more than overnight!
Do not waste your money on the Verizon wireless charger. The battery in this is so big that even overnight does not bring a phone that was down to 25% up to a full charge.
Thanks for letting us know. I was about to buy the Verizon wireless charger 2 days ago when I was buying all my accessories for the phone. Would've been a bummer to find out how slow the wireless charger chargers. Thanks.

The TYLT brand wireless charger is capable of normal wall plug speeds. It will be much faster than the average Qi charger but at the same time the turbo charger is amazing. I do not know of a charger that can charge as fast as the turbo charger but this TYLT brand is pretty good. The only reason I would get a wireless charger is to reduce wear and tear on my microUSB port (the culprit for retiring most of my previous android devices).
I also think its common knowledge that rapid charging and discharging of LiPo batteries reduces the overall life expectancy. I'm not sure what Motorola is doing with this whole "rapid charge and non removable battery" thing. Its possible that Turbo users can prolong the life of their batteries by charging at normal rates but I honestly don't have enough info to make a confident statement about that.
Here's the fastest Qi charger that I know of right now:

I also use the Tylt Vu and am very pleased with it. Looking forward to their wireless car dock.

Is there an actual model thats being advertised for release? Ive been searching everywhere for the right wireless car dock. Im trying to minimize my usage on the microUSB port.
That goes for everyone. If you know of any good wireless Qi car mounts /docks that would be superb. I drive all day every day.

Their website just says coming soon, but Android Police did a hands-on post about it a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the price will be about $80 (!).
I currently use this wireless car dock and haven't had any problems with it..
I was thinking of getting this car mount, but wasnt sure how it would work with the turbo. I have a few questions for you;
do you have a case on it? if so which one... i have the otterbox commuter...
what car are you using it in?
are you using the suction cup or vent connection?
any info would be helpful!

sorry won't let me post links yet... been a long time lurker on xda first time poster
I'm not using a case on the Turbo, but I used it with an HTC One M8 with a Commuter case and it worked fine. I drive a Chevy Avalanche and mounted the cradle using a ProClip vehicle mount and one of their adapter plates for an XM Radio believe it or not. That matches up pretty well with the tab on the back of the Choetech mount, but I did have to wrap a few rubber bands around the tab so it was tight enough.
I've used this one for close to a year with various devices. It does charge at 1.2a but is limited by the wireless receiver, most are .75a or less. That being said, this unit works great with my BN turbo. It is always at 99-100% after about 7 hours on night stand even when starting below 20%. Currently I'm not using a case, but I have a Commuter case I used for awhile and the wireless charger still worked fine through the case.
May be available in the end of 2015!
Right now there is no wireless charger that supports faster charging but it will soon be available in the end of 2015 as it is under developing state.
I have the Tylt and it says it supports the rapid charging. I can't say it is as fast as the wall charger since I've only had it a few days, but it does seem that the initial charge is very fast.
Also, very stylish. The wife doesn't even complain about leaving it on the night stand.
Bought the TYLT when I pick up the DT its well worth the $75. It charges faster than all my other home Qi chargers and it keeps the phone at a decent angle for viewing. It is not able to keep up with the draw of TS3 Viewer though, but not really a normal issue. I use this charger everyday and it will charge the phone from sub 15% to full overnight. Consequently I normally use this charger to charge up my wife's S5 and it seems to charge at a similar rate to her normal Samsung charger. I like useing this charger over the turbo charger simply because it should help the battery to last longer.
As far as dash mount I use the iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Qi Charger. That one maintains battery levels with the screen always on running Dash and Google Play (it also almost keeps up with running GPS ie. Waze/Google Maps) I posted an extensive reply in a later thread about that charger.
i bought the TYLT and love it. when i turn droid off and put it on TYLT and droid turns on itself. how do i keep droid off while charging? thanks.
bringing this back as I just bought this device. curious to see if there are any fast wireless chargers available yet? i do see QI wireless charging pads, but not sure if that is what I want. thanks!

I don't think any have hit the market yet. I have several of the tilt Qi chargers all over the house, so I love wireless charging.
I'm new to the wireless charging world. I recently purchased a Nexus 6 (migrated from a 2013 moto x), and decided to purchase an Anker PowerPort Qi Wireless Charger to try wireless charging.
From what I've read, the sweet spot is bottom 1/2-1/3 of the device, near the "u" in nexus on the back. However, I can't get the device to be detected by the charger. Is there any setting that needs to be enabled or any special trick to make this work?
No, wireless charging should work out of the box. I'm having similar problem here, luckily there are 2 nexus 6 in the house. One is working flawless on my Ikea wireless charging point, one (unfortunately mine.....) Is not doing anything, no matter how i place it or how long i let it there.
I've contacted my reseller, have to send it in for repair....
As i am new to wireless charging and maybe some xz2 users too i think about which wireless charger to buy, are all standard or are there different ones for diferent phones, what about charging speeds, and mostly what to watch for before buying... Thanks for answers
Kindly buy the branded once with 10W support since the phone support fast charge. Also you need you use QC3.0 for the wireless charge to kick in fast charge. If brands, better get the sony one.
Is there a difference between the wireless chargers for the N9?
What third party wireless charger would you suggest?

The Note 9 still uses the Qi standard so no there is no difference. Only difference in models would be fast charging support or not
Doesn't Samsung Qi and PMA?
Any reputable brand should work. Some work better than others because of the amount of could used and placement of pad and phone. I still have my Samsung white and grey flat pad that came out with note 3 or 4. Ni forgot which. I also have a Nokia wireless charger that is very small but I believe has 3 coils iirc. Nokia started clearing them out and I think it was <$20 shipped at the time. The only downside to it is proprietary connector and no USB port for the power supply.

I think they still support PMA but even their chargers are Qi
Hola
I know that the Mi 9 comes with wireless charging but I have read and seen on some YouTube reviews that claim that Xiaomi is using a proprietary induction charging system. So the question is can our Mi 9 use a regular Qi wireless charger? My whole family use wireless chargers, so it is an important feature for me. I really don't care how much longer it takes to charge if we use regular Qi chargers, just having it supported is good enough.
Hopefully someone who already has the device can shed some light on this. I was thinking of waiting for the OnePlus 7, but thankfully it's CEO stated that the latest version will still not come with Qi charging functionality... such a shame.
Hola
It seems like I wasn't the only one confused. A tech YouTuber has posted a video showcasing that the Mi 9 does support regular Qi wireless chargers! Link to YouTube video, it does answer a number of other questions:

Yes it does. I have a random one off amazon and whilst it's not quick charge 4, it charges it wirelessly (albeit slower) nonetheless

I think it's only for the new 20 watt wireless fast charge that you will need the proprietary charger,It is QI compatible so I believe it works with all QI chargers as well,but slower
Yes works with all wireless chargers
