WiTricity's magnetic resonance technology charges at the same efficiency as Level 2 plug-in charging, allowing drivers to charge EVs by simply parking over a charging pad. The global automotive standard for wireless charging of EVs, which was ratified by the Society of Automotive Engineers in 2020, is based in large part on WiTricity's designs and patents.
