Wireless charging in car parks for robotaxis and for owners sat eating a meal is the gaping hole in the EV future so glad see someone has spotted that and is filling it.

It's definitely coming. I see the maturity curve of charging being: 1) cable charging by the driver, 2) cable charging an autonomous vehicle by an attendant, 3) inductive charging autonomous vehicles. What gets lost in the wireless piece is the cost of the infrastructure at scale (no one is producing large volumes yet), the cost of the hardware for the vehicle, and the losses incurred using wireless charging. In the energy transition, the world is going to have to invest trillions in new generation, transmission and distribution of energy. This has to be delivered efficiently and currently wireless has inherent losses. Will this change with more R&D? Absolutely. But not just yet. When it does we will deploy this hardware.

Very interesting video. Where do you see your company in 5-10 years? Will you have the capital to expand which I am sure will happen or will you have to sell to someone with deeper pockets?

Right, because the grid is so prepared for the EV revolution that it can afford the 30% losses that wireless charging comes with 👌🏻

I used to shop at Kroger which would give 1.00$ off per gallon of gas for spending over 100$ a weekly. I remember thinking that would equate to a lot of kwh of electricity… some basic lvl 2s would have offset my energy to drive to the grocery…

100% on the money Michael. Some get it and are moving in this direction, others not so much. We argue that the ones that get it now can provide a superior service we as EV drivers will remember and utilise because it's easy.

FedEx contractor here…. Rivian already announced they would not sell directly to customers and with only about 150-180 miles of range this won’t make a good conversion to camper van. You also can’t just drill through the floor in the back (for water, waste, electricity)as the battery is in the floor. But sure, second hand market maybe. As a driver, I also think the infrastructure for the units will be a significant issue. The warehouse we contract out of is about 2 years old and can fit almost 500 trucks inside. To renovate that entire building to charge them all over night is a multimillion investment per facility. I can see UPS moving this way quickly, but FedEx has an entirely different business structure, they own the buildings and us contractors own the trucks. TBH, other than publicly (for now) they could give a flying **** what expenses like vehicles, we have. Point is, unless Rivian get a metric ton of orders from UPS, they won’t live long enough for FedEx to be forced into the investment.

Kindness is still free, spread the word.

New Zealand for the win!

I know this is off-topic. Has anyone made a trailer that does level 2 charging/NIMA 14-50 outlet. Has a collapsible solar canopy, built-in motor for regenerative brake recharging/ acceleration for range offset.

Must have good investors as pay back from charging revenues will take some time to cover the capital with meanwhile technology moves on and faster charging becomes more important. When there is contacts charging then the old leads will be redundant??

Mostly a fixed revenue model Simon so payback is solid. Low OPEX costs mean customers get their chargers to positive quickly also. And we help with that by signing up fleet and logistics companies for multi-use case charging sessions.

ESG is going to be dropped by big companies so when that decreases will his clients still be motivated to do this? I think this is more a function of EV growth and making it a feature of the property. High tech tenants will want it and they probably pay above average rents.

I agree with the view that tenants will be demanding this as an amenity Rich. We've seen this with our REIT clients here in the US right now, where the clients rental team were getting called weekly from their anchor tenants. On the ESG front, there's a lot of negative press around regarding 'woke' policies etc. ESG is environmental, social and governance, which if you take a pragmatic (versus an extreme) view means I don't see this going away anytime soon. Companies that have good governance, provide an environmentally positive outcome on balance (no company is perfect), and do good for the society we all live in should win. Others, not so much.

Could the cars newly plugged in get preferential max charge and cars plugged in greater amounts of time get throttled harder?

@nigelbroomhall4922

Absolutely - that's what advanced load management does using the latest bi-directional standard. We can 'see' the state of charge (SOC) of a battery so load management software can dynamically, in real-time, allocate a faster charging speed to one vehicle over another. You can even set up rules to enable high-value/targeted clients to get more energy first.

That hour long commentary could be condensed into one sentence. "we are adopting the Tesla model"

A little different but there are some similarities. Our business model differences are: not 100% dependent on utilisation revenue, designed to appeal to EV drivers (lots of access due to large banks of chargers being deployed in one location), site owners (they can make money with no capital down but retain pricing control) and infrastructure debt investors (stable earnings). Oh and a signed contract to deploy 300,000 EV chargers;)

It's coming. The main challenge is the economics of EVs for everyone except Tesla and BYD. Additional hardware in the car (inductive pads) costs more money and when you're already losing 30-40% per vehicle that's a future step they can't make, yet. It's coming though and is on our roadmap.
