"Easy installation and integration
Wireless charging is all convenience.
Bringing Plugless Power to your EV
Plugless Power will be available as a dealer-installed feature on new EVs or through certified installation partners as a retrofit for your car.
The vehicle adapter only adds 10 pounds to the EV and installs on the car's undercarriage.
You can wrap the system's price into the vehicle's purchase price or lease.
Within 24 hours of your purchase, the Plugless Power customer service network will schedule an appointment to install your charging station and help with necessary local permits.
Evatran, the developer of Plugless Power, and Yazaki North America, a subsidiary of the world's largest supplier of automotive electrical distribution systems, are working with automotive manufacturers to integrate Plugless Power into new EV models. Yazaki will focus on the design of the system's vehicle components and necessary integration parts, while Evatran will concentrate on designing, manufacturing, and installing the charging station. Demo systems are currently available to vehicle manufacturers for testing performance and functionality. Contact info@evatran.com for more information."
"Perfectly simple electric vehicle (EV) charging
With Plugless Power™, you simply park your car in your garage. That's it. No cords. No hassles. And most importantly, no remembering to plug something in.
Totally hands-free charging.
Plugless Power uses induction charging to replenish your EV's battery — the same process used by electric toothbrushes.
Plugless Power recognizes your EV as it approaches and provides parking guidance.
Once the car is over the parking pad, the system communicates with your EV based on the SAE J1772 protocol used in corded systems, and automatically starts charging.
The indicator panel communicates charging status.
When your car is fully charged, the system turns off. And if you need to leave before charging is complete, simply back up and charging stops.
It's that simple. All you had to do was park your car. And if you're out and about, you can still plug in your vehicle with a traditional corded system."
"The truth about wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging
Wireless charging is all convenience.
As you know, buying an EV also means choosing and installing a home wireless charging station. Why introduce another cord and yet one more step into your daily routine? With a Plugless Power™ EV charging system, you just park, and your battery charges automatically.
It doesn't cost more than a plug-in solution.
It's true. Experts forecast that corded charging systems will cost between $1,000 and $3,000. Plugless Power wireless EV chargers will be priced competitively in this range.
Wireless charging is proven and safe.
Proximity charging, otherwise known as inductive power transfer, has been in use for over a century. It simply and safely uses electromagnetic fields to transfer electricity between two coils - one installed in your car and the other in your garage. Think of your electric toothbrush.
It's just as fast as a cord.
Thanks to our innovations in proximity charging technology, Plugless Power solutions deliver a high-power charge that recharges your EV as quickly as it would charge with a cord. And in some cases, Plugless Power can be slightly quicker.
It's not a thing of the future.
Wireless EV charging technology is here today and available from Plugless Power. From now on, you can experience the convenience of never needing to worry about whether you remembered to plug in your EV"

Visit Booth #315 at Plug-In 2011, July 18-21 at the Raleigh Convention Center
WYTHEVILLE, Va. & RALEIGH, N.C.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Evatran, manufacturer of the first wireless charging system for electric vehicles (EVs), today opened Plug-In 2011 by showcasing a 2011 Chevrolet Volt set up to charge wirelessly with a Plugless Power station. The Volt is the first vehicle model to be outfitted with the aftermarket system that provides hands-free charging convenience for EV owners.
Plugless Power will be available initially to strategic partners with Chevrolet Volt models in their EV fleets including corporations, municipal governments, utilities and small businesses. Evatran is actively seeking corporate partners for retrofit installations in late 2011 and early 2012. In addition to aftermarket systems, Evatran and its partner, Yazaki North America, are working with automotive manufacturers to integrate Plugless Power technology directly into mass-market EVs.
Plugless Power offers EV drivers an easier way to charge vehicles. Using a dual-component system based on inductive power transfer – the same technology used to charge common household devices such as electric toothbrushes – Plugless Power streamlines the battery charging process for electric vehicles and extended-range hybrids. Compared to wired solutions, the benefits of wireless technology include:
Greater convenience – saves time by eliminating the need to plug-in
Ease of use – avoids the need to manage bulky cables and plugs
Hassle free – protects against forgetting to recharge
Flexible – allows for plug-in charging, as needed
Increased safety – eliminates need to handle high-power charging cords
“Plugless Power’s wireless charging capabilities provide a hassle-free option for EV drivers to manage their recharging needs,” said Rebecca Hough, chief operating officer for Plugless Power. “As consumers become more receptive to green transportation options, our goal is to make it easier than ever to maintain electric vehicles. In fact, it’s as easy as parking in the garage.”
Aftermarket installation of the Plugless Power system is completed by a certified installation partner. The straightforward and simple process involves:
Vehicle Adapter Integration: A wireless charging adapter and small electronic module are mounted onto the vehicle, adding less than 10 pounds to the overall weight. These components are connected directly into the vehicle's existing onboard battery charger.
Station Installation: Charging station setup includes installing a weatherproof parking pad at the vehicle’s primary parking location and a wall-mounted power module connected to a 240-volt line.
