Joe Barrett
<p>The last few years have seen electric vehicle technology develop in leaps and bounds. EVs are now universally recognized as the future of the automotive industry. However, barriers to mass-market adoption still remain, primarily in terms of efficiency, cost, and usability.</p> <p>These issues are now being addressed by the development of wireless charging technology. Simplicity and minimum driver intervention are the keys to success, and when these features are coupled with high power transfer efficiency, wireless charging is a winner. This presentation will outline how the technology works and the benefits it is set to bring to the electric vehicle industry.</p>
