The program allows for an initial vehicle integration in just three months, dramatically accelerating automaker testing of wireless charging on existing and future EV platforms. Wireless charging will be fully enabled and operational on the automaker's EV platform using the WiTricity Halo receiver and the WiTricity Halo 11kW charger.
The company’s FastTrack Integration Program extends to helping OEMs develop dealer-installable wireless charging options that meet market demand while production programs are in development. A June 2023 TideWatch independent survey discovered that 80% of consumers with loyalty to premium automotive brands would switch to another premium automotive brand if that brand was to offer wireless charging.
"Knowing the challenges of automotive timelines, we are committed to help OEMs move more quickly to adopt the wireless charging technology that customers want," said Alex Gruzen, CEO of WiTricity. "We have extensive experience upgrading existing vehicles such as the Tesla Model 3 and the Ford Mustang Mach-E to support wireless charging, and in working with early adopters of factory-installed wireless charging. WiTricity can partner with OEMs not just on evaluation, but on delivery from our global supply chain of fully automotive-grade wireless charging solutions for production programs."
