Wenatchee is an amazing small town in western Washington state – and it shows us the future in how to wirelessly charge up electric buses and taxis and trucks – and probably from there, some day, to electric cars. 

Since March 2018, Link Transit, in Wenatchee, has been using the wireless charging installed at a transit stop at Columbia Station to quickly charge up the city’s EV buses. The buses have driven more than 50,000 miles, and the system has delivered over 50 megawatts, displaced 16,000 gallons of diesel fuel and prevented 181 tons of CO2 gas being emitted into the air.

This is the story of the future – and it is a technology that saves the environment and saves money, too. It is what will make it possible to expand the world’s fleet of electric vehicles, helping us to create a sustainable world.
