Evatran COO Rebecca Hough said through the Apollo Program, Evatran is actively partnering with multiple high-profile EV leaders from across the country to increase awareness of the convenience of Plugless Power wireless charging and how that convenience impacts the adoption of EVs.
"With Plugless Power, we’ve overcome one of the major obstacles to more widespread adoption of electric vehicles," Hough said.
Dominion Chevrolet, James River Air Conditioning, and Pence Nissan supported the test drive portion of the event, with assistance from Virginia Clean Cities.
Apollo Program participants utilize Plugless Power on their own electric vehicles, testing the wireless technology at their locations for three months and providing feedback to Evatran.
The Plugless Power system allows drivers to simply pull up to a charging station, park, and let wireless technology do the rest, and it automatically charges an electric vehicle’s battery with the safe process of inductive power transfer.
A second phase of the Program is planned for the third quarter of this year to include additional participants across the country.
