TOKYO -- Electronics parts maker TDK will work with automakers to develop a wireless charging system for electric vehicles, with an eye toward making easy cable-free charging a commercial reality by 2021
The Tokyo-based company envisions a system that sends electricity wirelessly by using electromagnetic induction between an underground transmission coil and a receiving coil in the vehicle. The system, which will be built on a basic technology developed by U.S. startup WiTricity, will also incorporate TDK's proprietary technologies, such as an electromagnetic noise filter.
