WiTricity says it is the only electric vehicle technology firm of any kind to be honoured this year.
"I am truly proud of our more than 85 employees who work to accelerate EV adoption and bring wireless charging technology to life every day," said Morris Kesler, CTO of WiTricity.
WiTricity provides wireless charging for electric vehicles, developing and implementing magnetic resonance technology for passenger and commercial vehicles.
The company's wireless charging technology eliminates the problem of plugging in to charge, just requiring a driver or autonomous vehicle to drive over a charging pad, park and charge.
WiTricity says it has worked with automakers worldwide for over a decade to create wireless charging standards for the industry to increase the adoption of EVs. Last year, WiTricity was named a Business of the Year by the Electric Vehicle Association and recognised for Making Strides in Mobility in Fast Company's Innovation by Design Awards.
WiTricity’s technology is backed by an extensive patent portfolio and is the foundation for ratified global EV wireless charging standards including SAE, ISO and GB. Automakers and Tier 1 suppliers turn to WiTricity to help accelerate the adoption of EVs by eliminating the hassle of plug-in charging, enabling always-available wireless V2G, and setting the stage for future autonomy.
