Team up with Paul Vahle to Develop Inductive Wireless Charging Systems

HELLA, a developer and manufacturer of lighting and electronic components for the automotive industry, has teamed up with Paul Vahle to develop inductive wireless charging systems for electric and hybrid-electric vehicles (EVs).

Inductive charging, which is commonly used to provide power to small consumer products such as smartphones and electric toothbrushes, will help drivers easily charge car batteries.

HELLA Electronics North and South America Marc Rosenmayr said car owners in the future will simply need to park over an inductive charging unit to trigger the process, rather than using plug-in charging stations.

If inductive charging coils were embedded in streets, electric vehicles also could be recharged when stopped at traffic lights or even while being driven."

"The driver only needs to stop or drive over a charging unit or network to activate the process. As wireless charging has become more available and easy to use, it also might allow automakers to reduce battery size and weight on electric and hybrid electric vehicles," Rosenmayr added.

The partnership between Vahle and HELLA combines the expertise and experience of both firms in the field inductive charging.
