Luxury EV Buyers Demand Latest Technology

Eric Cohen — Thu, 10 Aug 2023 22:20:35 +0000

Electric vehicles are going mainstream – it’s not just the early adopters who want them. And, more and more mainstream automakers have introduced, or will shortly introduce, new EV models of their luxury marques. It’s important, however, that the wants and needs of the luxury car buyer aren’t forgotten in this transition. And what do they want?

To learn more, WiTricity worked with TideWatch Partners, an independent research firm, to do an online survey of over 600 luxury vehicle owners. Not surprisingly, luxury vehicle owners are luxury brand loyalists. But, the absence of wireless charging means they are likely to look at other brands. Read the report.

Factory Automation with Mobile Robots: A Natural Fit for Wireless Charging

Marcelo Traverso M. — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 19:33:57 +0000

The automotive industry is changing, and the automotive assembly plant is transforming with it. Not only are car manufacturers building different types of vehicles (electric vs. internal combustion) and different models, but the way they’re building them is changing.

A key component of automotive assembly plant makeovers is automated guided vehicles (AGVs) specially designed for use throughout the factory. Powering this factory-of-the-future is a wireless charging system from Wiferion, a licensee of WiTricity’s wireless charging technology. Read the white paper to learn more.

Meet Your EV Consumer, Volume 2

Marcelo Traverso M. — Mon, 05 Dec 2022 08:00:02 +0000

At WiTricity, we’re passionate about wireless charging to accelerate the adoption of Electric Vehicles. But it’s not just us: consumers who love EVs want wireless charging, too. This is our second volume of EV owner profiles that provides insights into how EV owners feel about driving EVs, what led them to making an EV decision, and what they like (and don’t like) about their EVs. Like those consumers in our first volume of profiles, these consumers couldn’t wait to tell us about their cars and their experiences. Drivers want everyone – particularly OEMs and Tier 1 providers – to know why they’re so excited for wireless EV charging to be available on their next EV.

AM Radio and Wireless Power Transfer for Electric Vehicles

Marcelo Traverso M. — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 00:06:47 +0000

One question that continually arises about wireless charging for electric vehicles is, “Does EV wireless charging interfere with AM radio?” The answer is, “No.” WiTricity’s wireless power transfer system for EVs (WPT-EV) does not interfere in any appreciable way with AM radio. Yet, some people continue to claim it does. This whitepaper provides an in-depth explanation of the relationship between AM radio and wireless power transfer.

Wireless EV Charging for Government Fleets

Marcelo Traverso M. — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 22:59:53 +0000

With the US Government’s electrification milestones and investments to dramatically accelerate EV adoption, there is a corresponding need to significantly expand the EV charging network in the US. Wireless EV charging has been specifically identified by the US Government as an important part of the overall EV charging network for both commercial and US Government applications.

In this first-of-its-kind webinar, attendees gained insights into the benefits of wireless EV charging and where (and how) it can both complement and replace traditional plug-in charging. The webinar also explored applications of wireless charging, including applications where wireless EV charging solutions are superior and addressed the timing of WiTricity wireless EV charging solutions becoming commercially available.

Meet Your EV Consumer

Marcelo Traverso M. — Tue, 20 Sep 2022 16:49:43 +0000

We know that among U.S. drivers planning to buy an EV in the next two years, 96% find wireless EV charging appealing. We also know that up to 70% are more likely to buy an EV if they could charge it wirelessly. More importantly, we know that the real people who are EV drivers aren’t just statistics and percentages. They’re people who care deeply about what they drive and the whole ownership experience. That’s why we wanted to get to know them. We invited consumers – people who drive EVs and those considering an EV purchase – to share their stories. What led them to making an EV decision? What do they like about their EVs? And why are they so excited about wireless EV charging on their next EV. Engage in their passion as you enjoy their stories.

Highly Resonant Wireless Power Transfer: Safe, Efficient, and Over Distance

Zoe — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 16:11:21 +0000

The idea of transmitting power through the air has been around for over a century but why is it now becoming available for EVs? And how does it work? Written by WiTricity’s Chief Technology Officer, Morris Kesler, this detailed paper explains wireless power transfer (WPT) – from the physics of WPT to coupled resonators to...

Leave the Filling Station Behind

Zoe — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 16:08:14 +0000

Wireless charging changes how, when, and where EVs will “fill up” – and makes charging as easy as park, and charge. This paper discusses the paradigm shift for today’s EV drivers and why DCFC is not a practical or realistic solution for a vast majority of them. It explains how wireless, distributed charging will make a difference by reducing the energy burden. And why WiTricity highly resonant wireless power transfer is the most efficient and interoperable wireless charging system available today.

It’s Time to End the DCFC Arms Race

Zoe — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 15:27:56 +0000

Although the world is going EV, everyone is still stuck in a gas pump frame of mind. The shift to EVs is every bit as big of a paradigm shift as the one that saw the horse and buggy give way to automobiles at the turn of the last century. Charging needs to be easy, convenient, safe, and accessible. This white paper provides a reality check and provides easier solutions to DC fast charging. Learn why wireless charging is tomorrow’s EV infrastructure.
