For those unaware, the medium-duty electric vehicle space saw many entrants and exits as startups backed by special purpose acquisition companies created and then ran out of runway. In the case of Harbinger, a modest yet focused approach avoided the drama, and the company recently announced a $100 million Series B raise co-led by Capricorn’s Technology Impact Fund, which has $10 billion under management.

InductEV and ITS launch wireless EV charging at Port of Long Beach

InductEV, a wireless electric vehicle charging solutions firm, is set to deploy its high-power inductive chargers in collaboration with the International Transportation Service (ITS) at the Port of Long Beach.

ITS recently secured a US$3.3 million grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to showcase advanced charging technologies tailored to the specific needs of medium- and heavy-duty (MD/HD) electric vehicles (EVs).

The ITS initiative, titled “Hands-free Charging for Battery Electric...

InductEV joins Zero Emissions Port Alliance

Wireless EV charging pioneer InductEV has joined the Zero Emissions Port Alliance (ZEPA), aiming to accelerate port decarbonization and make battery-electric container handling equipment (BE-CHE) more affordable and accessible.

Moreover, ZEPA estimates that over 120,000 container handling units, which contribute 10-15 million tons of CO2e annually, need to be decarbonized.

Can wireless EV charging become an infrastructure player?

Wireless charging of electric vehicles — literally parking a vehicle over a concrete-embedded charging plate and magnetically connecting to a vehicle — is a niche mostly restricted to transit buses and yard tractors that pull containers around a distribution yard. 

But as the rollout of plug-in charging is slowed by infrastructure buildout and lack of timely energizing, the underground solution also known as inductive charging could expand to other uses.

Expensive approach with a swift payback
