Manhole covers have always terrified me, as I seem to have an inexplicable phobia of someday falling into one that wasn’t on right or simply wasn’t on at all. But one company’s idea of turning a manhole into a wireless charging station for electric vehicles (EV) somehow makes them seem less scary.
By using a resonance-based charging system installed underneath the city pavement via a pre-existing manhole cover, Hevo Power aims to promote electric vehicle usage for those who previously found the process of juicing up their engine a chore. Resonance charging was chosen over traditional inductive charging because of its efficiency in energy conservation and faster rate of charge at further distances.
