Electreon is available for download. an Israeli company that has been working on the development of wireless charging for electric cars for some time. Compared to other projects, however, the technology developed by this reality is; it differs because; allows you to recharge cars on the go. Trials are already in progress. underway in several countries, including Italy. In this regard, we recall the 1 km mini circuit built by A35 Brebemi in collaboration with Stellantis and other partners, with the aim of field testing dynamic induction charging for electric vehicles. Experimentation that had begun towards the end of 2021.

Now, Electreon has entered into a collaboration agreement with Toyota and Densoto jointly develop a kit that will allow students’ electric vehicles to have such technology at their disposal. The agreement follows a trial conducted at Electreon's headquarters in Beit Yanai, Israel, in which the technical teams of Toyota and Denso participated. At the end of this work, a demonstration of the possibility was given. to supply energy to the battery of a Toyota RAV4 PHEV through the dynamic induction charging system.

THE AGREEMENT

The parties intend to promote the technical development and adoption of wireless charging technology through the joint development of an aftermarket kit for current electrified vehicles (electric and plug-in) to equip them with this technology. We speak, therefore, of a sort of "receiver" that installed under the cars will be able to; receive electricity from the designated roads.

In addition, the companies say they want to integrate “wireless technology into new cars on the market” and help create a new standard for dynamic wireless charging for electric vehicles. In addition, they will work to deliver a joint pilot project in Japan, the US or the EU that demonstrates the potential for this project to be implemented. of this technical solution. More details of the agreement will be communicated later. forward.

In any case, Toyota says it is confident that this technology could play an important role in the future, as it could solve the problem of autonomy, also allowing the creation of electric cars with more powerful batteries. small. All we have to do is wait for more details to better understand the joint initiatives of these companies.

On paper, an interesting agreement given that it is a joint initiative. also been underwritten by Toyota. However, you can't; don't remember that dynamic induction charging also includes the change of roads. Therefore, it turns out to be very expensive. Furthermore, with the range of electric cars continuing to improve and the growth of charging infrastructure, such a solution will probably not be needed. unless you want to use it only in combination with specific types of cars. The feeling, in fact, is; that this system can only be suitable for electric buses and trucks that travel the same roads every day.
