Just a few years back wireless charging systems for phones and tablets seemed revolutionary. Now they are pretty commonplace, but the innovation still makes powering up much more convenient. Plus, you're spared the hassle of sifting through tangled cords every few hours or so.
Following the same line of logic and really running with it, Volvo is currently conducting studies on a wireless charging system for an electric vehicle. The platform is a bit bigger than that of your average wireless phone dock, but the process is pretty much the same. Simply drive the vehicle over the inductive charging unit, wait about 2 and a half hours, and voila; you're all set to hit the road again.
The technology isn't quite ready for production just yet, but after a series of tests Volvo engineers have found the prototype to be adept in getting the job done quickly, conveniently, and, most importantly, safely. We're not quite sure when we'll see this sort of thing turn up at our new and used Volvo dealer near New Orleans, LA. However, when it gets here you can count on the Bergeron Volvo blog to announce its arrival.
While we might not be wireless, we are ahead of the curve when it comes to maintenance technology. If you need to get your vehicle road-ready quickly and conveniently, our Volvo Repair team is helping New Orleans drivers get up and running Monday through Friday.
