Curbside cab charging: Wireless power tech keeps EVs on the go - [News]

Norway, already a world leader in EV adoption, will soon mark a world's first: an Oslo-based fleet of Jaguar I-Pace taxis that can charge wirelessly even as they queue up for passengers. The inductive charging technology, developed by a former NASA consultant at Pennsylvania-based Momentum Dynamics, aims to solve perhaps the biggest disconnect in EVs: how to bring convenient charging to the urban masses-including apartment dwellers and drivers of taxis, buses, and delivery trucks-without clogging every inch of prime real estate with bulky, unsightly chargers. The conundrum becomes more pressing with the introduction of new electric models and each additional government mandate for fewer fossil fueled cars and lower carbon emissions.
