HaloIPT – Electric Charging No Plugs, no fuss, just wireless – Acquired By Qualcomm

HaloIPT is based in the UK and was founded in 2010. The company is pioneering the development and production of wireless charging technology for the transportation sector. HaloIPT’s technology uses inductive power transfer (IPT) to charge electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, removing the need for cables, plugs and battery exchange stations.

HaloIPT is the worldwide EV wireless charging leader with more in-the-field experience, more mature product design, and more IP coverage. We are ready to take the next step into major new alliances, which will place HaloIPT products in the forefront of the exploding worldwide EV market.

The HaloIPT advantage:
• Very high efficiency — same as hard wired – demonstrated to match conventional plug-and-cable.
• Very low magnetic field emission — conforms to ICNIRP guidelines. No EMI into vehicle.
• Commercial systems to 60kW in operation for buses and larger vehicles.
• 3kW ‘small-car system’ in operation on London vehicles.
• 7kW ‘large-car system’ operating on premium electric vehicle launched in Geneva Motor Show
• New 18KW products nearing release.
• Very large gap between vehicle and pad — up to 400mm. ‘Smart’ tolerance to varying gap.
• Lateral alignment between vehicle and pad plus or minus 250mm with minimal loss of efficiency.
• Same on-car versatile system for slow and fast charge (e.g. 3 & 7kW)
• Small form factor pads, lighter & more easily packaged into vehicle (600mm x 400mm x 30mm for 3.3kW)
• Simultaneous wireless data exchange with vehicle.
• No moving parts or physical contacts – high reliability.
