Wireless EV charging on-the-go is looking more real than ever before. That’s right, you’re charging as you drive, or better yet, while your car is driving you. Over the last two years, researchers at University of Colorado have developed a proof of concept for wireless power transfer that transfers electrical energyContinue Reading
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy has licensed its wireless charging technology for electric automobiles to Brooklyn-based HEVO. The technology delivers the highest power levels in the world in the smallest size and might one day allow electric vehicles to be charged while driving atContinue Reading
Researchers at Cornell University are developing a special wireless charging roads that’s capable of charging vehicles’ batteries as they drive over its surface. The present prototype can power vehicles from 18 centimeters away. Wireless Charging Roadways would have a charging lane, sort of like a high occupancy lane. If youContinue Reading
Wireless EV charging would be a nifty convenience for personal electric vehicle owners, and it looks like auto makers have tuned into the luxury car angle. However, the really big bucks — and the big sustainability payoff — comes into play for fleet vehicles. Earlier this year, the team atContinue Reading
Charging an electric vehicle (EV) should be as convenient as refueling a gasoline car, if not better. It has long been a bit of a distant option, but BMW is now offering it for new plug-in models. The company has been working on a new inductive charging system for sometime nowContinue Reading
Alex Gruzen, the CEO of WiTricity, is as passionate about wireless charging as Elon Musk is about electric cars. Here Alex is busting the five myths about wireless charging that are inaccurate – Myth #1: Wireless charging is slow and inefficient False. Wireless EV charging is just as efficient —Continue Reading
Chalmers University in Sweden claims to have invented a wireless charging method that can recharge batteries with up to 500 kW of power without requiring them to be connected to a charger through a connection. They claim that the new charging equipment is finished and ready for commercial scale manufacturing.Continue Reading
Electreon is an Israeli publicly listed company with the sole objective of commercializing wireless electric road systems. One would ask why an electric highway is necessary in this day and age, when EV battery range and charge times are constantly improving. That’s an excellent question. Individually owned automobiles and otherContinue Reading
