Wireless electric-car charging tech to be tested in London by Qualcomm

SHARE

Qualcomm Incorporated, a FORTUNE 500® company is the world leader in 3G and next-generation mobile technologies. Today, Qualcomm technologies are powering the convergence of mobile communications and consumer electronics, making wireless devices and services more personal, affordable and accessible to people everywhere. 
Qualcomm wireless electric vehicle charging (WEVC) technology for demonstration in London by Delta Motorsport plans to integrate the system into its Delta E-4 Coupe electric cars for the demo.

Qualcomm said that in London demonstration are:

        1)To evaluate the commercial viability of the wireless charging of electric vehicles.
        2) It To develop a further understanding of issues relating to the integration of WEVC technology into EVs.
         3)To build knowledge associated with the deployment of WEVC into a megacity.
         4) To gain user feedback on the use of WEVC-enabled electric vehicles.
         5) The creator of wireless telecommunications processors and equipment acquired U.K.-based Halo and its WEVC technology 
         
           The Halo vehicle-charging system works via inductive charging "across the air gap between a transmitting pad in the road surface and a receiving pad on the underside of a vehicle," meaning it could be used for in-motion EV charging on future electric roadways.


Drivers will charge their electric vehicle little and often and potentially use dynamic charging to complement local stationary charging, removing range anxiety. This means that batteries could be smaller with the resulting reduction in electric vehicle cost and weight.
