IN CAR WIRELESS CHARGING EXPLAINED

What is In Car Wireless Charging?

In-car wireless charging is an embedded component installed inside cars that can charge smartphones, wearables, and any Qi-enabled device wirelessly.

The system uses induction coils to create an electromagnetic field that transfers energy from a transmitter unit to a receiver unit. The receiver unit then converts the energy into safe and efficient power that can wirelessly charge a wide range of Qi-enabled devices including smartphones, earbuds, smartwatches, and more. 

Powermat’s inductive wireless charging technology can already be found in over 8 million vehicles worldwide and is embedded by global market leaders such as General Motors, Visteon, Harman International, and more.
