Waitrose Trials Vans With Wireless Charging Technology
Upmarket UK retailer Waitrose & Partners is testing electric vans equipped with wireless charging technology for delivering goods to customers.
Funded by Innovate UK, the pilot is being conducted in Waitrose’s St Katharine’s Dock store in London.
The trial builds on a deployment with the City of Edinburgh Council and Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, funded by the UK Government’s Office for Low-Emission Vehicles through its innovation agency Innovate UK, Waitrose added.
The new vans require no cables and can be charged by simply connecting to a metal plate on the ground – much like modern smartphones charging on a flat charging plate.
