Qualcomm’s take on EV charging

Qualcomm recently announced the first trial for its Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging (WEVC) technology in the United Kingdom, in collaboration with the UK government, the Mayor of London’s office and Transport for London (TfL). The trial will use wireless inductive power transfer technology that enables high-efficiency power transfer across a large air gap. Qualcomm said the pre-commercial trial will start in early 2012 and involve as many as 50 electric vehicles.
