Evida Power, Ltd., a designer and manufacturer of lithium-ion battery packs for electric vehicles (EVs), announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with HaloIPT, a global specialist in Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) systems for the wireless charging of electric vehicles. The agreement is part of Evida’s commitment to lead the growing EV market by providing true value to automakers and end customers through realistic and viable EV solutions and has an estimated value of 80 million Euros.
Unlike most of the existing EV charging systems which require the direct connection of a cable from the energy source to replenish a battery, the wire-free inductive system uses a strongly coupled magnetic resonance to transfer an immediate and highly efficient charge between a ground-based transmitting pad, on which the car is positioned, direct to a receiver pad located on the vehicle.
