Problem
Current wireless charging solutions for electric vehicles often rely on inductive coupling, which requires precise alignment, expensive components, and can expose users to hazardous magnetic radiation. These systems also often necessitate pre-planning and vehicle mechanical modifications, increasing deployment costs and complexity.
Solution
Remote Energy is developing wireless charging solutions based on capacitive wireless power transfer (CWPT) technology, offering a cost-effective and safer alternative to inductive charging. Their systems use electric fields instead of magnetic fields to transfer energy, reducing sensitivity to alignment issues and minimizing electromagnetic radiation. The technology allows for aftermarket installation on various vehicles, including cars, e-scooters, e-bikes, drones, and industrial vehicles, without significant modifications. Remote Energy's solutions support both static charging in parking lots and dynamic charging on roadways, providing a seamless and convenient charging experience.
Target Audience
Remote Energy targets electric vehicle owners, fleet operators, public transportation agencies, drone operators, and industrial facilities seeking convenient, cost-effective, and safe wireless charging solutions.
