BROOKLYN, N.Y. – HEVO Inc., a leading provider of wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging technology, and Stellantis N.V., a leading global automaker and mobility provider, have announced a partnership to integrate wireless charging into Stellantis EVs. The collaboration aims to provide a superior charging experience for EV drivers without compromising on safety, efficiency, or durability.
HEVO’s Chief Commercial Officer, Vic Peltola, stated: “HEVO is thrilled to be working with Stellantis, a company committed to innovation and enhancing the overall experience for EV drivers. With a diverse product lineup that includes brands such as Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat, Maserati, and Peugeot, this collaboration is poised to drive decarbonization by offering significant benefits for both fleet and passenger customers seeking a more convenient and seamless charging experience.”
Wireless charging is designed to simplify and improve safety during the charging process, eliminating the operational friction associated with cord management. HEVO’s award-winning technology boasts an efficiency of up to 95% (grid-to-battery) and is in compliance with SAE and UL wireless charging standards. Early applications of this technology include transit and logistics fleets, as well as disabled drivers who benefit from accessible and ADA-compliant charging.
HEVO and Stellantis are starting with a demonstration of Level 2 wireless charging on a Chrysler Pacifica PHEV at the company’s office complex in Auburn Hills, Michigan. If the demonstration is successful, HEVO will have the opportunity to provide wireless charging to Stellantis customers with the goal of making it cost-competitive with plug-in charging as production volumes increase. A 50kW fast wireless charging project is also in the works.
