WiTricity wireless EV charger
- Power Output: Up to 11 kW
- Charging Levels: Equivalent to Level 2 AC
- Supported EV Standards: SAE J2954 (wireless EV charging)
- Installation Type: Ground pad
PROS
- Cable-free charging – just park over the pad, no plugging/unplugging.
- Comparable speed to Level 2 charging (up to 11 kW).
- High efficiency (up to 93% grid-to-battery).
- Standardization (SAE J2954) ensures future EV compatibility.
- Scalable technology – supports 3.3 kW, 6.6 kW, and 11 kW setups.
- Future-proof – enables autonomous vehicle self-charging.
CONS
- Not commercially available to consumers yet (mostly pilot/OEM use).
- Unclear pricing – could be more expensive than plug-in chargers.
- Installation complexity (requires ground pad integration).
- Some specs not publicly detailed (IP rating, cooling, UI, etc.).
- Slightly lower efficiency vs wired charging (few % loss).
