CES 2024: Valeo presents wireless charging system IneezTM Air Charging

At CES 2024 (January 8 to 12 in Las Vegas), the French supplier Valeo introduced the wireless charging system for electric vehicles Ineez Air Charging for the first time. The provider sees the need for this due to the rapidly increasing number of electric vehicles and expects a tripling of global production by 2030. Charging solutions would thus become an increasingly important purchasing criterion. With the system, they aim to create an efficient and simple way to charge electric vehicles inductively without cables and strengthen their position as a provider of charging stations.

According to the manufacturer, it is the only wireless charging system that works with an extremely low operating frequency of about 3 kHz. Additionally, it is said to weigh 50 percent less than other charging systems and be easier to operate. To reduce costs, they rely on comparatively simple hardware. At the same time, they promise high efficiency of over 90 percent between the grid and the battery. The system is said to be compatible with all wall boxes, power grids (1- or 3-phase grid), and electric vehicles (400- to 800-volt batteries) worldwide.
