"This contract is a huge win for the team at WAVE as it will allow us to operate more efficiently with our customers. They now have direct access to WAVE's innovative charging solutions, bypassing the lengthy and expensive bidding process." said Kristen Helsel, Chief Revenue Officer of Ideanomics. "We are honored to be the only wireless inductive charging solution to be awarded in this round. We look forward to partnering with Sourcewell members, especially municipalities, ports and transit agencies, to accelerate the future of wireless charging."
"One of the biggest challenges fleet operators face in moving to climate-friendly, zero-emission vehicles is matching the range- and duty-cycle of outgoing fossil fuel-based vehicles," said Michael Masquelier, CEO of WAVE. "Fast, high-power, automated wireless charging will enable Sourcewell members to more easily extend the range of their next-generation EVs, making the transition to a more sustainable fleet easier."
As an example, the Antelope Valley Transit Authority in northern Los Angeles County operates the largest battery-electric bus fleet in the U.S. and operates 12 WAVE wireless chargers over 100 square miles of routes.
Embedded in roadways and charging vehicles during scheduled stops, the fully automated, hands-free WAVE system eliminates battery range limitations and enables fleets to achieve driving ranges that match that of internal combustion engines. Wireless charging systems offer several compelling benefits over plug-in-based charging systems, including reduced maintenance, improved health and safety, and expedited energy connection. Furthermore, wireless in-route charging enables greater route lengths or smaller batteries while also maintaining battery life.
