What’s sexier than a sports car? An electric sports car of course! Yet the Fulton Innovation team saw an opportunity to improve an already amazing product. We’re proud to showcase an eCoupled™ enabled electric sports car at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) This car is more than a concept though; it’s a dream that’s coming true. The future of Electric Vehicles (EV) is bright indeed. More inside the post, including photos and videos from the floor!
Electric cars appeal to most consumers due to their efficiency, high technology and the ability to offset pollution. As sexy as a sport car is, an electric sports car takes the cake. The eCoupled enabled electric sportscar represents a truly wireless lifestyle that solves many gaps that current automotive technology has yet to solve. Daily, Fulton Innovation is exploring new ways to work with existing manufacturers to assure seamless integration; just wait, it won’t be long before all cars are enabled with wireless power. Charging wirelessly, that’s a dream come true.
Really though, what we consider ‘gaps’ most people just take for granted; but we know better, we want to change that thinking. How? Well how about wired car chargers? Bulky, they clutter our daily commutes. Now, cell phones, mobile devices, etc. charge wireless in the car when enabled with eCoupled technology and placed in the vehicles hotspots. You may remember this from our demonstrations at the last years 2010 CES.
Have a long commute? Your phone is charged when you get to work. Even better: the drive home. No more wires tangling up your front seat while sitting bumper to bumper. Plus, when you pull into the garage at home, all your technology is charged. No more running into the house to make sure that smartphone doesn’t die on you, that’s cool.
This eCoupled enabled Tesla Roadster also represents something that’s going to solve way more gaps in our lives as consumers; it’s being called Charge for Charge™ – and we’re driving it. (That’s another post though, so stay tuned!).
Key Takeaways:
- High power EV charging – transferred wirelessly over distances.
- Introduces wireless charging to parked vehicles, both consumer and industrial.
- Convenient charging of mobile devices.
- Streamlined side-by-side integration.
