WiTricity Corp. (WiTricity), IHI Corp. (IHI) and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. (MMC) have agreed to join forces to research and develop easily deployable electric vehicle (EV) wireless charging systems readily compatible with electric grids which will make life easier for EV users in the future. The partnership structure of three major players in the wireless charging, electric infrastructure, and EV areas coming together will accelerate the popularization of wireless charging systems for EVs by developing systems that are usable “right out of the box” for individuals, governments, and other entities including power companies in order to make it easier and quicker for them to roll out such systems.
The aim of the collaboration is to make EVs remarkably more convenient for owners by accelerating the popularization (and thus availability) of wireless charging at homes and shopping center parking lots, etc.
