WiTricity AI Tech has added a lower-cost option to its golf cart wireless charging lineup. The MR/1 600 W system is priced at $1,625—half the cost of the company’s existing MR/1 900 W commercial unit—and is aimed at courses, communities and smaller fleets where the higher-power system isn’t necessary.

The 600 W unit uses the same contactless charging pad approach as the 900 W version: carts park over the pad and charging begins automatically with no cables, exposed contacts or user interaction. Charging times are slightly longer than the 900 W system but remain practical for daily operations, according to the company.

“For courses and communities that want the benefits of wireless charging at a lower entry cost, the 600-watt system delivers an excellent balance of performance, simplicity, and value,” said CEO Joe Benz.

The system is available immediately and is compatible with a range of golf carts and light electric vehicles.
