Autel Energy, BMW, and partners explore advanced EV charging and AI integration
What happened
Autel Energy is collaborating with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and BMW to evaluate new wireless charging systems for electric and autonomous vehicles. These tests utilize HEVO’s circular coil designs to bench-test ORNL’s polyphase coil technology, aiming to improve power density and efficiency. Separately, Xeal introduced Laitent, a platform that repurposes unused electrical headroom at Level 2 EV charging sites to power edge AI inference.
