RICHMOND, Va. – Evatran Group, Inc. (“Evatran”), the manufacturer and distributor of Plugless, the only wireless EV charger available for purchase in the world is now selling demonstration systems for electrified mobility companies looking to integrate high-powered inductive charging into their products at a fraction of the cost of ground-up or licensed development. Plugless systems have been used by research institutions across the world, installed by electrified fleet companies, military programs and on a fleet of fully-autonomous driverless shuttle buses.

Plugless offers complete 3.6kW and 7.2kW development/ lab systems for sale to qualified companies and research institutions. Each system comes with a complete, functioning benchtop wireless charging system for research including a vehicle simulator. Each system is demonstration-ready right out of the box.

“With the exponential growth of technologies relying on electric motors, and companies exploring varying degrees of autonomy, wireless inductive charging is a popular feature set in product development,” said Ned Freeman, V.P. of Marketing and Sales for Evatran. “Our demo system customers appreciate starting with a working system that has already provided more than 900,000 charge hours in every conceivable environment and across a wide variety of platforms.”

Plugless has been integrated and deployed on Chevy Volt, Nissan LEAF, Cadillac ELR and Tesla Model S EVs and has been installed across North America.
