Volkswagen Group of America is launching a joint research project with the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, to develop high-power wireless charging for electric cars.<\/p>\n

Using a Porsche Taycan as a test bed, teams from VW, ORNL, and UT Knoxville have upped the power level of wireless charging hardware from 6.6 kilowatts to 120 kw, according to a VW press release. The goal is to reach 300 kw, which would be enough to charge the Taycan to 80% in 10 minutes, the automaker said.<\/p>\n

Researchers aim to get a better idea of the potential hurdles surrounding high-power wireless charging, but VW did not mention any specific plans to commercialize this research in the near future.<\/p>\n

The project will build on previous wireless charging research at ORNL. Not counting losses in electricity delivery, researchers already announced an excellent 97% efficiency<\/a> for the technology at up to 120 kw in 2018.<\/p>\n

Some companies offer commercial wireless charging systems, but the technology still has a long way to go before mass adoption. So far there’s a single standard for cross-compatibility<\/a>, but that only goes up to 11 kw. High-power charging is new territory.<\/p>\n

Momentum Dynamics has a system that’s already being tested on Jaguar I-Pace taxis<\/a> in Oslo, Norway, and is capable of charging at up to 50 kw in bursts of 6-8 minutes.<\/p>\n

Among automakers, BMW has tested wireless charging<\/a> with its 5 Series plug-in hybrid, but it hasn’t shared results from that test yet. And the Genesis GV60<\/a> might be the first EV to offer original-equipment wireless charging on any widespread basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
