WiTricity announces the launch of new wireless charging technology options for select E-Z-GO® products. WiTricity will display the E-Z-GO Liberty LSV (low-speed vehicle) introduced with wireless technology at CES and will be available beginning Summer 2024.
“No matter the size of the vehicle, owners of EVs are ready to ditch the plug,” said Alex Gruzen, CEO of WiTricity. “With this new solution, E-Z-GO users will soon be able to enjoy a seamless and convenient charging experience and the freedom to simply park and charge.”
Personal vehicles are increasingly the preferred mode of transportation in many communities across the US, for errands in and around the community as a more fun, convenient, and environmentally friendly transportation option.
“At E-Z-GO, we’re proud to offer industry-leading technology to continuously improve the experience for our customers,” said Adam Harris, Vice President, E-Z-GO. “Convenience is one reason why users opt for our vehicles in the first place, so it’s an obvious choice for us to improve that user experience with WiTricity’s wireless charging.”
WiTricity’s wireless charging operates with speeds comparable to the plug. The system includes the WiTricity Halo™ Receiver, which will be mounted in the car either at the factory or as a dealer-installed option, and the WiTricity Halo™ Power Hub, which plugs into an ordinary household outlet. Charging is initiated simply by parking over the Power Hub.
Wireless charging options will start being introduced on select E-Z-GO products in the summer of 2024.
