Two global leaders in wireless inductive EV charging and energy transfer technology have announced an agreement to collaborate to establish standards for the fast-growing technology.
Philadelphia-based InductEV, whose focus is on electric vehicles used in commercial fleets, and Norway-based ENRX, with 75 years of experience in the wireless transfer of energy in heating systems and more recently with electric vehicles, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that seeks to establish technical standards and ensure compatibility across the wireless EV charging ecosystem worldwide.
InductEV and ENRX are focused on a standard at power levels several times higher than the robotaxi system, an essential step for eliminating range anxiety that has impeded the growth of electric vehicles.
The two companies expect to provide users of the technology with expanded market access while contributing to an open ecosystem that drives innovation and supports user choice.
InductEV and ENRX seek to accelerate the widespread adoption of wireless inductive charging technology in the transport sector, benefiting all with enhanced ease of use, compatibility, and reliability.
“We look forward to working alongside the engineers at ENRX to help standardize the technical specifications of wireless charging technology across the globe,” said John Rizzo, CEO, InductEV. “We’re at a tipping point in the transportation sector’s adoption of wireless inductive charging, making this collaboration that much more crucial as end customers and vehicle makers want to be assured of multiple sources of supply for this mission-critical technology. As a company, InductEV has already shipped Gigawatts of power wirelessly, more than the entire industry combined to date. We are well positioned with ENRX to contribute to the coming wireless EV charging transformation.”
