WiTricity has announced that KG Mobility's all-new, all-electric Torres EVX Pickup will offer WiTricity-enabled wireless charging.

Instead of hassling with a plug to charge their battery, owners who equip their Torres EVX Pickup with WiTricity's magnetic resonance technology will charge their vehicle by simply parking over a charging pad, which draws power from a 240-volt household circuit. The company’s magnetic resonance technology allows for wireless charging at the same speed and efficiency as a Level 2 plug-in charger.

This option will be available beginning with the 2025 model year Torres EVX Pickup. A Torres EVX SUV outfitted with a receiver based on WiTricity's technology was displayed at WiTricity's booth at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

"We are proud that WiTricity's technology has been selected by KG Mobility," said Alex Gruzen, CEO of WiTricity. "KG Mobility customers will soon discover that they will enjoy safe, reliable charging as soon as they park their car."

In a separate announcement, WiTricity announced it has achieved ISO 9001:205 certification, the internationally recognised standard for quality management. By achieving this certification, the company is joining a group of organisations globally recognised for their commitment to quality management systems.

WiTricity said ISO 9001 certification solidifies its position as a reliable partner for automakers and fleets seeking to integrate high-quality wireless charging solutions that exceed global standards, as well as providing EV owners a high level of confidence in the reliability of their WiTricity wireless charging system.
