Wireless charging company WiTricity scaling up EV charging capability as well as itself

Green Car Congress

One of the things WiTricity has been doing since the first public disclosure back in 2005 and then the formal formation in 2007 is taking this core of technology of magnetic resonance and applying it into practice. As the cost [of batteries] comes down, and the size grows, right in parallel, we are going to higher and higher power transfer.
