Xiaomi is working on its first electric vehicle, expected to begin mass production in 2024. While the company is making progress with its cars, it is also exploring new ways to improve EV efficiency. Xiaomi has recently filed a patent for a new EV wireless charging system that could make charging electric vehicles easier and more convenient.
The patent describes a small cargo car with a battery that would drive close to an EV in need of a charge. Then, using autonomous technology, the cargo car would position itself and hook up to the EV before starting the charging process. It appears that a large coil would attach to the EV to keep the two vehicles connected for the charging duration.
While the patent does not specify how the cargo car would be deployed or paid for, the idea of wireless charging for EVs is an interesting one with the potential to revolutionize the way we charge our vehicles.
Xiaomi’s first EV is also expected to be well-equipped, with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chipset, an 800V platform, lidar, and advanced driver assistance systems. It will also have a range of 700 kilometers.
Xiaomi’s entry into the EV market is a highly anticipated one. The company is known for its innovative products and competitive prices, and it is expected to bring the same approach to the EV market.
