Jakarta (ANTARA) - Technology company WiTricity has introduced a\nwireless charging solution for small electric vehicles, including golf\ncarts.<\/p>\n
According to a report by Electrek on Saturday (14\/2), WiTricity\u2019s new\ntechnology is more accurately described as a \u201cplug-free\u201d solution rather\nthan wireless, as official promotional images show a cable connecting\nthe charging pad to a standard 110\/120V power outlet.<\/p>\n
The magnetic induction-based charging technology enables automatic\nbattery charging when a vehicle is parked on the pad\u2019s surface, without\nrequiring any cables or direct physical connection to the vehicle.\nHowever, the pad itself remains connected to a power source via a cable\nto a standard 110\/120 volt outlet.<\/p>\n
According to WiTricity, the MR\/1 solution not only eliminates the\nneed for cables but also reduces the risk of accidents caused by cables\nstrewn across parking areas.<\/p>\n
WiTricity AI Tech CEO Joe Benz stated that the MR\/1 solution is\navailable in 600-watt and 900-watt variants. The 600-watt variant is\nintended for vehicle charging at golf courses and environments requiring\nlower investment costs, whilst the 900-watt version serves as a charging\noption for vehicles that require greater power.<\/p>\n
The device can be programmed to charge during hours when electricity\ntariffs are at their lowest and automatically stops when the vehicle\u2019s\nbattery is fully charged.<\/p>\n
The wireless charging technology solution is expected to facilitate\ncharging of small electric vehicles and encourage greater adoption of\nelectric vehicles.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/witricity-introduces-wireless-charging-solution-1771305188", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
