The seductive appeal of in-road inductive charging, which means EVs no longer tethered to fixed charging stations, along with actual small-scale implementation, suggest that it’s likely to emerge into ...
The future of powering electric vehicles may soon be under your nose. Your feet, actually. By summer 2023, about a mile of road in Detroit’s bustling Michigan Central Station district should contain ...
In the first two parts of this series, we briefly looked at battery-swapping technology and conductive charging using pantographs or electric rails. They both have pros and cons, but in the near ...
All modern cars have a wireless phone charger, at least for the upper trims. Rivian makes no exception, although few people got the inductive surface between the front seats to charge their phones. A ...
Mahle said it had developed a positioning system which allows an electric vehicle to be precisely aligned above an inductive charging coil in the floor. SAE International has now chosen that ...
One of the primary issues with EVs is that you need to pull over and stop to get a charge. If there isn’t a high-speed DC charger available, this can mean waiting for hours while your battery tops up.
A recent Ford patent filing hints that the automaker is investigating ways of charging EVs while driving. Published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on July 20, 2023, and ...
A flurry of research and pilot projects worldwide are exploring the dream of “e-roadways,” stretches of road equipped to wirelessly charge compatible electric vehicles on the move using dynamic ...
Ford has filed a new patent application for hardware that would allow EVs to charge while driving. The new patent filing was published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Aug. 15 ...
Wireless device charging has existed in a commercially-available capacity since around 2009, with one of the most commonly used device categories to have broadly adopted this technology being ...
