Sacremento Brings Evatran’s Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging Trial to the West Coast

Plugless-Power
Evatran, the developer of Plugless Power wireless electric vehicle charging technology, announced that the City of Sacramento has joined its Apollo Trial Program to test wireless charging technology on its own electric vehicles.

Sacramento will round out the previously announced list of Apollo participants including industry leaders such as Bosch Automotive Service Solutions, Duke Energy, Google, DTE Energy, and The Hertz Corporation.

The Plugless Power technology, based on the 100 year old principle of magnetic induction, was developed to allow electric vehicle drivers to avoid the repetitive process of physically plugging-in and unplugging their EVs on a daily basis. Previous trial participants have commented on the convenience of the wireless charging system and the effortless lifestyle it affords an EV driver.

The Apollo participants will be trialing the second generation of Evatran’s technology, improved through the first phase of the Program, launched in March 2012 with Google, Hertz, Duke Energy, Clemson University, and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

The announced installations in the second phase of the program include:

– Four stations installed on Nissan LEAFs and Chevrolet Volts in California from the City of Sacramento and LADWP to Google in Silicon Valley
– Four stations installed in cold-weather climates like Detroit with Apollo partners Bosch Automotive Service Solutions and DTE Energy on Chevrolet Volts
– Five stations installed on Chevy Volts and Nissan LEAF in the Southeast with City of Raleigh, Duke Energy in Charlotte, and Clemson University in South Carolina
– One station installed in the Northeast at The Hertz Corporation Headquarters
– One station installed in D.C. with the Electric Drive Transportation Association

Evatran plans to have over twenty installations as part of the Apollo Trial Program. The partners will trial the second generation systems for three months and then Evatran will release the product to individual EV owners across the country.
