WiTricity Halo™ wireless charging simplifies the charging experience by removing the need to plug in. Several studies have shown that EV consumers have expressed a strong interest in wireless charging, ranking it higher in desirability over options such as assisted parking or autonomous driving features.

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase WiTricity to the Ask This Old House audience," said Amy Barzdukas, CMO, WiTricity. "As homes are both built and retrofitted with more technology, efficiency and electrification in mind, we are seeing a growing demand for in-home EV chargers. Ask This Old House gives us the chance to demonstrate how WiTricity Halo can make charging an electric vehicle as easy as parking."

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.
