As part of the “Gothenburg Green City Zone” initiative, intended to achieve emission-free transportation by 2030, using the Swedish city as a testing ground, Volvo Cars will accelerate the technology and service development across electrification, shared mobility, autonomous driving, connectivity and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 This 2022, the company began a test plan with a new wireless charging technology, along with selected partners, evaluating its potential for future electric cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over a three-year period, Cabonline, the Nordic region’s largest cab operator, will use a small fleet of fully electrified Volvo XC40 Recharge cars and charge them wirelessly at stations in Gothenburg, Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The charging stations used in the test are provided by Momentum Dynamics, a leading supplier of wireless electric charging systems. The power supply starts automatically when a compatible vehicle is parked on a charging platform embedded in the street, allowing drivers to conveniently refuel without leaving their car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to information released by Volvo Cars, the charging station sends power through the platform, which is picked up by a receiver unit in the car. To easily align the car with the system, Volvo will use its 360-degree camera mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the all-electric XC40 Recharge cars, the wireless charging power will be more than 40 kW, which will make delivery speeds about four times faster than a wired 11 kW AC charger and almost as fast as a wired 50 kW DC fast charger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this energy, Volvo cars will be able to drive for more than 12 hours a day and will travel 100,000 kilometers per year, which also makes this the first durability test of the company’s electrified cars under a commercial-use scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that regard, Mats Moberg, Head of Research and Development at Volvo Cars, noted that Gothenburg Green City Zone allows them to test exciting new technologies in a real-world environment and evaluate them over time for possible wider future introduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that testing these charging innovations together with selected partners is a good way to evaluate alternative energy supply options for future cars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
