The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to research and develop a production feasible wireless charging system, integrate the system into a production intent vehicle, and to demonstrate the readiness of the technology to deliver the benefits of static (and possibly quasi-dynamic) wireless charging to drivers of light duty (10,000 lb Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or less) Grid Connected Electric Drive Vehicles (GCEDV). While the primary focus of this project is the advancement of static and possibly quasi-dynamic charging, the Department of Energy recognizes that the research and demonstration results of this Funding Opportunity Announcement may contribute to the future development of dynamic charging capability. This project shall demonstrate wireless charging technology while being cost competitive and compliant with safety standards.
