Wireless EV charging developer Electreon is collaborating with the State of Michigan and Xos, a manufacturer of electric trucks, on a project that includes the integration of Electreon’s wireless charging technology into a Xos Stepvan, as well as installation of stationary wireless charging at a Detroit UPS facility.
Funding of $200,000 came from the Michigan Mobility Funding Platform (MMFP), which supports testing and deployment of mobility projects in the state. Electreon received additional funding from the Michigan Central Scale Fund.
The project expands on Detroit’s electric roadway, which was launched at the Michigan Central Innovation District in the city’s Corktown neighborhood in November 2023. Equipped with Electreon wireless charging infrastructure, the roadway is capable of charging EVs wirelessly while in motion.
“Electreon, UPS and Xos aim to show a unique approach to commercial EV charging, including both stationary and dynamic wireless charging, which eliminates operational interruptions and charging downtime. This solution can also offer extended vehicle range capabilities without the need for expensive electric grid upgrades or purchasing larger vehicle batteries,” Electreon stated.
