InductEV and EO Driving Adoption of Wireless Charging for Fleets

The need for efficient and innovative charging solutions is becoming increasingly critical. Wireless charging technology represents a significant leap forward, offering the potential to enhance the charging process, especially for commercial fleets. Wireless charging transfers power without wires by using a wireless power transmission method. There are two main types of wireless power transmission methods: Near Field Wireless Power Technology (NFWPT) and Far Field Wireless Power Technology (FFWPT). This technology is particularly valuable for commercial EV fleets, as it can automate the charging process, reduce wear and tear on physical connectors, and enable more frequent "top-up" charging sessions that keep vehicles running efficiently.

In this context, InductEV, Inc. and EO Charging (EO) have announced a strategic partnership to integrate InductEV’s high-power wireless charging technology with EO’s EV charging solutions for commercial fleets. This collaboration aims to improve the charging infrastructure available to commercial fleets, addressing the growing global demand for reliable and efficient charging solutions.

InductEV’s vision for commercial EV fleets

InductEV’s Chief Revenue Officer, Brandon Anulewicz, emphasized the importance of the collaboration: “As leaders in high-powered wireless charging, we see this partnership as a great opportunity to accelerate global progress in the commercial EV market and establish automated energy distribution as a fundamental aspect of charging infrastructure solutions.” He added, “Our cutting-edge technology is designed to help fleet operators enhance the value of their electric vehicles and streamline their operations, making the transition to electrification both smarter and more efficient.”

The companies will collaborate to evaluate the commercialization of their technologies, focusing on integrating InductEV’s turn-key wireless systems with EO’s existing and future solutions. This integration aims to provide fleet operators with a seamless and cost-effective method of keeping their vehicles charged during routine operations.

Expanding opportunities in depot charging environments

The collaboration will also explore opportunities in traditional depot charging environments, broadening the scope of their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). EO Charging acknowledges the benefits of InductEV’s approach, which supports frequent and opportunistic charging—a crucial factor in maximizing operational efficiency for electric fleets.
