Qualcomm Inc. and Renault today announced a MOU wherein both companies will have joint access to Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging Technology (WEVC) where London trials and studies of this technology on Renault vehicles are concerned. Late last year, Qualcomm had announced WEVC trials in London and various stakeholders, government agencies and private establishments showed interest in this technology.
The basis of these trials was to evaluate commercial viability of wireless electric vehicle charging and its use on WEVC vehicles. Together with Renault, Qualcomm hopes to make charging of electric vehicles easier and less time consuming, besides making it easily accessible to all electric vehicle users.
Qualcomm showcased its latest technology "Qualcomm Halo Systems" as the last EVS26 meet. This intelligent wireless charging technology allows better tolerance to misalignments. The company is new set to start this trial project from the second half of 2012.
Anthony Thompson, Vice President of Business Development and Marketing at Qualcomm is excited of this new prospect and the fact that they will be working in conjuncture with Renault – the global leader in electric vehicles and low carbon vehicles. Together these companies hope to bring out faster and less time consuming charging of Renault electric vehicles, which will go a long way in ensuring their feasibility and practicality in the world of today.
