Abstract
Bringing any new and complex technology to a global market requires specific industrial capabilities and key business acumen. Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging (WEVC) is now viewed as a go-to-market solution for the EV industry due to the technology’s simple and effortless ability to make EV charging hassle free. WEVC also expands the EV use cases into city taxis and car share schemes that can struggle with conductive, plug-in charging solutions. While the use cases for WEVC deliver user simplicity, the commercial deployment into the complex automotive industry is challenging. This presentation will consider some of the commercial, technological and business issues that need to be addressed in order to make WEVC viable in the near term and to deliver long-term automotive and environmental advantages.
