HEVO Inc., a top provider of wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging technology, and Stellantis N.V., a worldwide carmaker and mobility provider, collaborate to incorporate wireless charging into Stellantis EVs, enabling an outstanding charging experience without compromising on safety, efficiency, or durability.
Demonstrating leadership in wireless charging is quickly becoming one of the most popular new themes in the electric vehicle (EV) industry.
Stellantis is among the most prestigious names in the automotive industry worldwide (if you add all of its brands together).
When it takes a step into new territory, just like other large automakers, it is especially noteworthy and could be critical to the industry.
The Level 2 wireless charging system
In any situation, the partnership between Stellantis and the wireless electric vehicle charging company HEVO is today’s topic of discussion in the news.
The two businesses will begin their collaboration by installing a wireless charging system capable of Level 2 on a Chrysler Pacifica PHEV in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
If the demonstration project in 2023 is successful, they will advance to 50 kW wireless EV charging and start providing wireless EV charging to Stellantis EV customers.
This is all predicated on the assumption that the project will be successful.
HEVO’s award-winning technology is up to 95% efficient (grid-to-battery) and is compliant with SAE and UL wireless charging standards. Before mass adoption, early applications of this technology included logistics and transit fleets, as well as disabled drivers who benefit from accessible and ADA-compliant charging
HEVO stated on their technology
HEVO’s outstanding technology
The HEVO power pad (surface or flush mounted in the ground) is grid-connected and wirelessly transmits power to the in-vehicle pad via the HEVO power station.
The vehicle pad sends power to the vehicle battery via a battery adapter.
The HEVO app, which is synced via the cloud, communicates between the hardware elements and serves as the only interface with the end user.
The HEVO power station has an output of up to 8 kW and is equipped with wireless and plugin charging capabilities. It can be powered by AC or DC and has UL 2750 and SAE J2954 wireless charging certifications and extra J1772 Type 1 or Type 2 Mennekes plugin connections.
HEVO will have opportunities to provide wireless charging to Stellantis customers while maintaining cost profitability with plugin charging as production volumes scale.
