HEVO, ORNL and BMW Team Up to Evaluate Next-Gen Wireless EV Charging Tech
Summary
HEVO is partnering with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and BMW on a technology evaluation program for next-generation wireless EV charging. The collaboration will assess polyphase coil technology and its potential to improve power density, efficiency and packaging for future electric and autonomous mobility platforms.
HEVO, a New York-based Tier 1 supplier of wireless charging hardware and software, will work with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and BMW in a technology evaluation program focused on advancing next-generation wireless charging technology.
HEVO will contribute wireless charging expertise, engineering support and circular coil topologies to assist BMW’s bench testing to evaluate compatibility with ORNL’s proprietary polyphase coil technology.
The participants explain that polyphase wireless charging has the potential to improve the power density, efficiency and packaging of wireless charging systems. ORNL and BMW have publicly demonstrated advances in polyphase wireless charging systems that highlight the potential of the technology for next-gen mobility platforms.
The testing will build upon ORNL and BMW efforts to explore advanced wireless charging architectures capable of supporting future electric mobility platforms. HEVO believes wireless charging will play an increasingly important role in enabling automated vehicle operations.
“Wireless charging will be a foundational technology for the future of electric and autonomous transportation,” said Jeremy McCool, founder and CEO of HEVO. “As an ORNL technology licensee, HEVO is pleased to support the continued evaluation of circular and polyphase wireless charging systems through technical analysis. Our objective is to contribute practical experience from commercial wireless charging deployments while helping evaluate technologies that may support future EV ecosystems.”
