Charging Efficiencies: Wired vs Wireless EV Charging Systems
Wireless charging for EVs is happening—see, for example, the Hyundai Genesis GV60 or the FAW HongQi E-HS9. But a common misconception is that wireless charging is not as efficient as plug-in charging. David will bust this myth in his webinar: Plug-in charging is not 100% efficient. Energy loss, primarily in the form of heat, occurs… Read more »
Honda unveils two-way wireless V2G energy management system
Honda unveiled its new Wireless Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), a bi-directional energy management system, at CES 2019. Developed in partnership with WiTricity, the system creates a two-way energy flow between the grid and vehicles parked over WiTricity’s Drive 11 wireless charging pad, which can be used to power car batteries or help meet the grid’s energy demands… Read more »
