Eta Electronics announced on the 9th that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with global electric vehicle (EV) component company BH EVS for cooperation in the field of wireless charging systems for electric vehicles (EVs).
This agreement was pursued to strengthen competitiveness in the electric vehicle wireless charging market by combining Eta Electronics' core wireless power transmission technology with BH EVS's mass production capabilities for electrical components.
The two companies plan to collaborate to develop a high-efficiency electric vehicle wireless charging system and to jointly build a commercial model. Eta Electronics will be responsible for developing its own foreign object detection algorithm and designing the communication environment to enhance the safety of the charging process, while BH EVS will be responsible for power transmission system design and mass production. Through this collaboration, the goal is to develop an EV wireless charging solution that meets the safety and quality standards demanded by global automakers.
The two companies will also collaborate on securing overseas certifications and developing new customers to advance into the global market. Eta Electronics, with its experience securing KC and FCC certifications for robot wireless charging, will lead the effort to address global certifications and secure standards. BH EVS will leverage its global network to secure new customers and expand its market.
Nam Jeong-yong, CEO of ETA Electronics, said, “We expect that our collaboration with BH EVS, which has a global manufacturing infrastructure, will serve as an opportunity to expand our wireless charging technology into the electric vehicle market. We will contribute to the commercialization of EV wireless charging technology by combining the technology and business capabilities of both companies.”
In the electric vehicle industry, discussions on developing wireless charging technology and related standardization to improve charging convenience are expanding, centered around global automakers and parts companies.
