Renault has joined the Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging (WEVC) trial in London in partnership with Qualcomm.
This will see integration of Qualcomm’s ‘Halo WEVC’ technology into some Renault vehicles.
The trial will evaluate the viability of wireless charging for electric vehicles and study feedback from users.
“Our participation in the WEVC London trail with Qualcomm complements Renault’s European research and development project involving 10 partners to demonstrate wireless inductive charging of electric vehicles in a public environment with a high level of performance and safety,” explained Renault’s Jacques Hebrard. “The deployment of wireless inductive charging requires inter-operability between cars and ground systems within common European and, hopefully, worldwide standards.”
