Imagine parking your electric car and having it charge automatically without any cables. Even better, your car can act like a giant battery for your house, sending power back to the grid when it's needed. This project makes that process fast, safe, and compatible across different car brands.
Electric vehicle adoption is slowed by the inconvenience of cables and the inability of vehicles to efficiently support the grid. Current wireless solutions often lack the interoperability and bidirectional capability needed for large-scale urban use.
A bidirectional wireless charging system for light-duty vehicles. This includes ground and vehicle assemblies, communication protocols, and integrated metering solutions.
If you are an EV manufacturer dealing with consumer frustration over bulky charging cables — this project developed wireless bidirectional charging that allows cars to both receive and give back power. This adds a high-tech feature that increases vehicle value and user convenience.
If you are a grid operator dealing with unstable energy loads from renewables — this project developed V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) wireless solutions. This allows a fleet of parked cars to stabilize the grid by feeding energy back during peak demand.
If you are a parking garage operator dealing with the high cost of installing and maintaining physical plug-in stations — this project developed stationary wireless charging pads. This removes cable wear-and-tear and simplifies the user experience for premium parking services.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost figures are not provided; however, the project focuses on developing scalable business models to determine commercial viability.
The project is moving toward scale by validating the technology in three European pilot sites in Stockholm, Dachau, and Milan to ensure robustness in real-world conditions.
Based on available project data, the project focuses on a Standardisation Roadmap and interoperability, which suggests a move toward open standards rather than closed proprietary licenses.
The project runs from 2026-06-01 to 2029-11-30, meaning validated results and guidelines will be available toward the end of 2029.
The system is designed to integrate seamlessly with the grid and renewable energy sources, specifically supporting V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) functionality.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with 10 industry partners representing 56% of the 18 total members. This strong industrial presence, combined with partners from 7 different countries, indicates a high priority on market entry and cross-border interoperability rather than purely academic research.
