InductEV validates OCPP high power inductive wireless charging
InductEV in the US has rolled out a high power inductive wireless charging system for fleets of buses.
The company, formerly Momentum Dynamics, completed interoperability testing and validation to the OCPP standard between the BetterFleet charge management system and the InductEV 200kW wireless charging system for global operation.
BetterFleet software for fleet transitioning planning and charge management is used by over 200 complex fleets throughout the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the UK.
The testing confirmed communication between the BetterFleet charge management system (CMS) and InductEV wireless chargers through the OCPP standard protocol. This integration enables automated vehicle authorization as they approach the chargers and ensures a smooth and efficient charging process.
Funding boost for concrete-based EV charging
The testing also confirmed advanced, smart-charging capabilities that allow for optimal load management on the grid by managing scheduling and control at the wireless charger directly. These innovations enhance the overall efficiency and sustainability of fleet operations.
The two companies will collaborate to further accelerate the deployment of inductive wireless fleet charging in Canada and the US.
“We are thrilled with the successful completion of interoperability testing with BetterFleet,” observed Adam Halsey, Head of Canadian Business Development, InductEV. “This achievement marks a significant step forward in the evolution of fleet charging for North American transit and commercial fleets.”
“As a company dedicated to best-in-class fleet management solutions, our collaboration with InductEV further underscores our commitment to providing innovative and interoperable solutions that help our customers achieve their zero-emission goals,” added Sasha Pejcic, North America Managing Partner at BetterFleet. The company is part of EVenergi in Sydney, Australia, with offices in the US, Canada, and UK.
InductEV recently opened one of the world’s first R&D centres for wireless vehicle charging. at its headquarters at King of Prussia in the US in November last year.
