Electreon Wireless, an Israeli startup that creates wireless chargers for electric vehicles, has announced a partnership with Toyota and the producer of automotive parts DENSO to integrate its wireless charging technology into Toyota electric vehicles.
The deal, according to Electreon, was reached after a fruitful technical review that teams from Toyota and DENSO participated in at Electreon’s headquarters in Beit Yanai, Israel.
According to the company’s website, their wireless charging technology may be swiftly installed and is intended for both stationary applications and wireless Electric Road Systems (wERS). We install our distinctive copper coils directly below the surface of the road in parking lots, along roads, at bus stops, and at logistical facilities. To reduce inconvenience, deployment happens at night. The Electric Road is then prepared to start charging EVs when the coils have been coated with asphalt.
“Paving it all over is our goal. The Jerusalem Post quoted Oren Ezer, CEO and Co-Founder of Electreon, saying, “Of course, we will start with terminals and important highways for buses, but the final goal is to lay it practically everywhere and be able to charge all types of cars.
“We are thrilled to join with Toyota and DENSO — two of the top and most reputable businesses in the global automotive industry, to create an entire game-changing solution with Electreon’s technology,” Ezer said in a statement regarding the collaboration.
“Our agreement will make wireless charging available to a broad and wide spectrum of drivers and will demonstrate the many benefits of wireless charging as a cost-effective, environmentally friendly way to charge EVs as well as a catalyst for lowering EVs’ carbon footprint,” Ezer added.
Electreon announced the parties’ future intentions in a release. “The parties intend to promote the technical advancement and uptake of wireless charging technology through the following joint activities: co-development of an aftermarket wireless kit for current electrified vehicles to make use of wireless charging technology today; integration of the wireless technology into new vehicles released to the market; collaboration to shape the standardization of wireless EV charging; collaboratively promote a joint pilot project in Japan, the U.S., and other countries.
