Test Results of the PLUGLESS™ Inductive Charging System from Evatran Group, Inc.

Laboratory testing is conducted on a wireless charging system by the Idaho National Laboratory in support of the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity. System efficiency and magnetic and electric field strength are measured during wireless charger operation over a wide range of conditions, including coil gap, offset alignment, and power transfer rate. Component surface temperatures are monitored at a full-power charge rate. The PLUGLESSTM inductive charging system from the Evatran Group, Inc. is tested in a laboratory setting and results are detailed.
