WiTricity Introduces Wireless EV Charging Solutions to help airports modernize ground operations with safer, more efficient, and sustainable electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. As airports worldwide accelerate electrification of ground support equipment (GSE) and utility fleets, WiTricity’s proven wireless charging technology is emerging as a game-changer for operational reliability and total cost reduction.
With a portfolio of over 1,300 patents and leadership in global wireless charging standards, WiTricity is uniquely positioned to support airports transitioning to EV-powered ground operations.
Designed for Airport Ground Support Equipment
At the core of this initiative is the MR/1 900W wireless charging system, purpose-built for light-duty airport GSE such as golf carts, utility vehicles, and service carts. This system allows vehicles to begin charging automatically the moment they park over a power hub—eliminating manual plug-ins and operator involvement.
WiTricity Introduces Wireless EV Charging Solutions that remove cables and connectors entirely, significantly reducing trip hazards and equipment damage in busy ramp and hangar areas.
Safety, Reliability, and All-Weather Performance
Airport environments demand rugged and dependable systems. WiTricity’s wireless chargers are IP-rated, FCC-certified, and tested by multiple OEMs to operate reliably in snow, ice, mud, debris, and harsh outdoor conditions. With no exposed moving parts, the systems dramatically reduce maintenance requirements and failure points.
According to WiTricity CEO Joe Benz, airports clearly recognize the value of safety, uptime, and total cost of ownership. Wireless charging helps achieve these goals by keeping vehicles operational while eliminating downtime caused by plug-in charging failures.
Scalable Solutions for Every Airport Fleet
Beyond light-duty equipment, WiTricity Introduces Wireless EV Charging Solutions across a broader range of airport needs:
- 11kW systems for passenger vehicles and light trucks operated by airports
- 75kW modular systems, scalable up to 450kW, for heavy-duty equipment such as luggage tugs and shuttle buses
A key advantage is universal compatibility—a common power hub and receiver design works across different vehicle types, battery chemistries, and suspension heights.
Driving Sustainability and Lower TCO
As airports push toward sustainability targets in late 2025 and early 2026, WiTricity’s wireless charging systems offer a practical path to electrification. Faster or comparable charging speeds to plug-in systems, automatic start/stop functionality, reduced maintenance, and maximized vehicle uptime all contribute to a lower total cost of ownership.
With successful deployments already proven in ports and transit depots, WiTricity Introduces Wireless EV Charging Solutions that are now set to redefine how airports power the future of ground operations.
