HEVO Inc., the Brooklyn-based wireless EV charging developer, announced on May 4, 2026 that it is moving its Rezonant hardware and Journey software platform from prototype toward scalable production, with Foxconn Interconnect Technology engaged in early-stage manufacturability discussions. The company shared its commercial fleet strategy ahead of ACT Expo 2026, which runs May 4–7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Founder and CEO Jeremy McCool framed the pitch around what HEVO calls “Park & Charge” — automated, hands-free charging for delivery vans, depot fleets, and autonomous vehicles. The announcement positions HEVO as a fleet-focused alternative to passenger-car wireless systems now reaching production at automakers such as Porsche.
Highlights
- Manufacturing partner: HEVO has begun preliminary discussions with Foxconn Interconnect Technology (FIT) on Design for Manufacturability analysis and high-volume production feasibility for its wireless charging hardware.
- Product platform: The company is showcasing its Rezonant wireless charging hardware and Journey cloud software at ACT Expo 2026, May 4–7, in Las Vegas.
- Target market: Commercial fleets — delivery vans, depot operations, and autonomous workflows — where manual cable handling creates labor cost and connector wear.
- Stage: Engagement with FIT remains in early technical validation; HEVO has not announced production volumes, pricing, or a commercial launch date.
Park & Charge Strategy Targets Fleet Operational Friction
HEVO’s strategy centers on removing manual plug-in steps from depot and last-mile fleet operations. McCool argued that the daily routine of plugging and unplugging charging cables on electric delivery vans is labor-intensive and accelerates wear on connectors. He positioned wireless charging as a prerequisite for fully automated fleet workflows as autonomous driving and smart-warehouse systems mature.
McCool said:
“Manual plugging and unplugging of charging cables for electric delivery vans every day is time-consuming, labor-intensive and creates massive wear on connectors. Wireless charging eliminates these pain points entirely. As autonomous driving and smart warehousing advance, ‘Park & Charge’ becomes an irreversible requirement for truly automated fleet operations.”
HEVO’s pitch combines the Rezonant wireless charging pad with the Journey cloud platform, which the company says provides real-time monitoring, energy optimization, and fleet management tools. McCool described the integrated hardware-software bundle as the company’s primary differentiator for OEM and fleet customers.
Foxconn Interconnect Technology Discussions Signal Scale Ambition
The most concrete development in the announcement is HEVO’s engagement with Foxconn Interconnect Technology (FIT), the connector and interconnect arm of the Foxconn group, on manufacturability and high-volume production planning. The two companies are working on Design for Manufacturability analysis, according to McCool, with the goal of evaluating whether FIT can produce HEVO’s wireless charging systems at automotive scale.
HEVO was careful to characterize the relationship as early-stage. McCool said the engagement remains in technical validation and strategic exploration, with no contract, volume commitment, or timeline disclosed. The company also did not provide updated unit economics, target price points, or fleet customer announcements alongside the production-strategy news.
Wireless Charging Reaches a Production Inflection Point
HEVO’s commercial-fleet focus arrives as wireless charging crosses from demonstration into series production for the first time on the passenger-car side. Porsche announced an 11 kW wireless charging system as a factory option on the Cayenne Electric in November 2025, claiming over 90% efficiency at a 12–18 cm air gap — the first OEM-supplied wireless system on a production EV. HEVO’s earlier publicly disclosed Rezonant E8 hardware was rated at 8 kW for overnight depot duty cycles, a power band better suited to fleet vans parked for hours than to single-driver passenger vehicles.
The two approaches address different operational problems. Porsche’s system is designed to remove cable handling for individual owners parking nightly in a single garage. HEVO’s commercial-fleet system targets multi-vehicle depots where labor savings and connector durability scale across a fleet, and where uptime for autonomous delivery operations may eventually depend on it. HEVO has previously partnered with Stellantis, Lightning eMotors, and most recently with Beam Global to combine off-grid solar charging structures with HEVO wireless pads — a Beam Global and HEVO platform launched in February 2026 for autonomous-vehicle applications.
What to Know
What is HEVO announcing at ACT Expo 2026?
HEVO is presenting its commercial-fleet wireless charging strategy and showcasing the Rezonant hardware and Journey software platform at ACT Expo 2026 in Las Vegas, May 4–7. The company also disclosed early-stage discussions with Foxconn Interconnect Technology on manufacturability and high-volume production for its wireless charging systems.
Who is Foxconn Interconnect Technology and why does the partnership matter?
Foxconn Interconnect Technology (FIT) is the connector and interconnect subsidiary of the Foxconn group, with significant high-volume automotive manufacturing experience. Engaging FIT on Design for Manufacturability analysis suggests HEVO is preparing for automotive-grade production scale, although neither company has disclosed volumes, timelines, or a binding agreement.
How does HEVO’s wireless charging differ from Porsche’s Cayenne system?
Porsche’s production wireless system is rated at 11 kW and targets individual EV drivers charging in a home garage. HEVO targets commercial fleets — delivery vans, depot vehicles, and autonomous platforms — where the value comes from removing labor and connector wear across many vehicles. HEVO’s earlier disclosed Rezonant E8 was an 8 kW unit oriented to overnight depot charging.
Has HEVO announced commercial fleet customers?
The May 4 announcement did not include new named fleet customers, production volumes, or pricing. HEVO has previously announced partnerships with Stellantis, Lightning eMotors, AUSEV, Vehya, and most recently Beam Global. The current update is focused on manufacturing readiness and the ACT Expo product showcase rather than new commercial wins.
