Wireless EV charging technology can help overcome some challenges to widespread EV adoption with improvements in convenience and reliability.
EV drivers, makers, and sellers were thrown for a loop earlier this month when word dropped that Tesla fired almost the entirety of its highly regarded Supercharger unit. While the company is reportedly scrambling to hire some of them back, the dust-up has fed the media narrative of chaos in the public EV charging field. Nevertheless, the picture is improving, and new wireless EV charging technology could help give the EV driving experience a push in the right direction.
The potential for accelerating EV adoption has caught the eye of Congress. Last year, US Representative Haley Stevens introduced the “ “Wireless charging can reduce battery size and cost, extend driving range, reduce pressure on the electric grid, and enable the electrification of autonomous vehicles,” Stevens also noted.
The sticky wicket is the level of charge enabled by wireless systems, which has been hovering around Level 2. However, in that same report from May 2023, J.D. Power observed a decline in customer satisfaction with the Level 2 public charging station experience.
