WE-VOLT: Wireless Charger for EVs

WeVolt represents an advancement in the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry, leveraging the power of wireless charging through resonant inductive coupling. This product aims to eliminate the need for traditional charging stations and reduce the cost needed to retrofit old building parking by introducing an autonomous robot capable of wirelessly charging EVs. By integrating cutting-edge robotics, advanced electronics, efficient wireless power transfer, and user-friendly software, WeVolt aims to redefine the EV charging experience, offering a seamless, convenient, and efficient solution for electric vehicle owners. This project focuses on the core challenges in current charging infrastructure and aims to create a future where EVs can be effortlessly charged, contributing to a more sustainable and connected transportation ecosystem.

The WeVolt project began with the vision of creating a fully automated system that provides charging for EVs without human intervention. We started with different approaches until we found that wireless charging is the ultimate solution. The system uses resonant inductive coupling, a proven technology that allows for efficient power transfer without the need for physical connectors and perfect alignment between the transmitter and receiver coil. By eliminating cables, the system aims to provide a more convenient, faster, and hassle-free experience for users, addressing issues such as the limitations of cable reach, wear and tear on connectors, and the inconvenience of manual plug-in charging. Through the integration of robotics, electronics, wireless power transfer, and software, WeVolt promises to bring a significant change to the way EVs are charged.
