At the largest automotive trade fair in the world, the last IAA in Frankfurt, the Asian group presented the system in a concept vehicle of the premium brand WEY.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation of the technology at the Guangzhou Automobile Exhibition in Asia also awoke extensive interest within the automotive industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are currently involved in numerous intensive negotiations with car makers around the world, and we are pursuing the clear goal of making Matrix Charging the global standard over the medium term,\u201d says Easelink founder Stockinger.<\/p>\n<p>As a system, the pads and connectors are many times less expensive than existing and upcoming charging solutions, making them suitable for mass introduction.<\/p>\n<p>Matrix Charging can be integrated into any series production model and makes automated charging, which has so far been reserved for the premium class, possible in all automobile segments,\u201d explains Stockinger.<\/p>\n<p>While the Easelink technology could become an additional boost to electric car makers, infrastructure operators can also profit from Matrix Charging.<\/p>\n<p>The technology is the only conductive and fully automatic charging technology in the world, and no moving parts are required on the infrastructure side.
