Richard Lowenthal , Coulomb's founder and chief technical officer, says there will always be a need for charging docks that take a credit card on the spot.

A universe without gravity waves would be about as nonsensical as one with Coulomb's law, Gauss' law, Faraday's law, but no Maxwellian EM waves.

Where, pray tell, did you get the idea that what Coulomb's Law is about is emf?

You can compare the electrostatic force basically Coulomb's law of two protons with the gravitation between them.

This is Coulomb's Law, and the force is called the electrostatic force (between the two point charges) … oh, and this is just the magnitude (force, being a vector quantity, requires a direction as well as a magnitude, to be fully specified).

Elisabeth Shue, The Saint (1997) Apparently, Shue was following Coulomb's little-known second law of physics: When in doubt, always hide secret formulas in your bra.

However, later, once Newton's theory had become accepted and the paradigm by which later theories were judged, the lack of an underlying mechanism for a fundamental force was regarded as no objection, as, for example, in the case of Coulomb's law of electrostatic attraction.

Indeed, in the latter case the very similarity of Coulomb's equation to Newton's was taken to be in its favour.

This means that Coulomb's Law is only true once the electromagnetic field has had time to travel between the two charges.

Coulomb's law is governed by the magnitude of the vertex which is the electric charge e in QED and for the diagram above it is proportional to the square of e and is the Fine Structure Constant = 1/137.
