* Safer with no trailing cables
* An enriched user experience

The aim of this trial is to confirm the anticipated advantages of the use of wireless EV charging for both commercial and domestic use thus being able to confidently establish a market in the UK for the technology.

Using trial data from one public sector participant & one private sector participant that both currently run EV service fleets we aim to-

* Monitor the usage patterns of the participants using the equipment

Measure the efficiency of the technologyGain feedback on the user experience to establish potential improvements Develop a product suitable for the UK market"
