Valeo unveils Ineez™ air charging for EVs at CES 2024
From January 8 to 12, 2024, at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, Valeo will present for the first time Valeo Ineez™ Air Charging, its solution for wireless charging of electric vehicles.
The electric vehicles market is growing fast worldwide, with production expected to triple by 2030. Recharge solutions are starting to be a key differentiation factor and a real asset to satisfy customer expectations. Valeo Ineez™ Air Charging reinforces Valeo’s position in the charging station market. It provides an efficient and lightweight solution to recharge the vehicle inductively, without any charge cable.
Valeo Ineez™ Air Charging is the only wireless solution that uses an ultra-low operating frequency, around 3kHz. It offers a unique, lighter (50% of other systems’ weight) and simpler charging experience. It relies on simplified hardware to make it affordable to all. Meanwhile, it maintains high efficiency above 90% from grid to battery.
It designed to ensure worldwide compatibility with every wall box and every country’s grid (1 or 3 phases network). Additionally, it is compatible with all cars (400-800V batteries). It’s solution offers Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) functionality for any targeted power solution (7-22kW) and can be applied in all charging locations, either public (street, parking, shopping mall…) or private (home, work…). Ineez™ Air Charging is versatile to meet all customers’ needs. It also can be plugged directly into an existing wall box. Alternatively, you can link it directly to the grid, ensuring all necessary securities and communications with the vehicle and user.
Valeo Ineez™ Air Charging is also ready for a future in which autonomous cars recharge themselves on an inductive charging area.
The Valeo has already secured more than 25 design patents for the Ineez™ Air Charging. These patents span from hardware to software and mechatronics.
Valeo Ineez™ Air Charging is on exhibition at CES 2024, Las Vegas, at Valeo demonstration area at Piero’s.
