Easelink | Holding Graz | Automatic and Wireless Charging of Electric Cars

Entering a parking space equipped with a Matrix Charging Pad

Europe’s first automated charging system for electric vehicles in public places has begun operating at the Holding Graz. The system’s heart is Easelink’s matrix charging technology, which enables wireless and automated charg­ing system in the parking space surface and hence is a solution for the widespread use of charging infrastructure in public spaces. The conductive system consists of a connector located on the underside of the vehicle and a charging

plate located in the parking space surface. Once the vehicle is parked, the connector integrated in the vehicle’s underbody lowers to connect with the charging plate embedded in the parking space surface. The system is intended to increase comfort for the users of the Holding Graz’s mobility services tim by eliminating the manual plugging and unplugging of the charging cable and will deliver insights for further projects that will be revealed in fall 2020.

dSpace has acquired the French company Intempora. The acquisition of the specialist in the area of real-time development software will strengthen dSpace’s product portfolio in the area of autonomous driving. Martin Goetzler, CEO of dSpace, notes, “we now offer our customers an open, consistent and even more powerful solution that covers the entire AD development process – from data recording, via data enrichment to data replay, scenario generation and simulation.” The two companies were connected for many years in a strategic partnership that led to the integration of Intempora’s real-time, multi-sensor application software RTMaps in several dSpace solutions. Further Intempora solutions include the data-tagging software RTag and the validation suite (IVS), a cloud-based data mana­gement platform.

Rohm and Leadrive Technology have opened a joint research laboratory for Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology close to Shanghai (China). SiC power components are being increasingly used in onboard charging units and DC/DC converters for vehicles, and the focus is accordingly on the development of vehicle power modules and inverters with SiC Mosfet chips

from Rohm and isolated gate drivers. Both companies have been working together since 2017 and have upheld a technical exchange regarding automotive applications with SiC power components. The construction of the joint research laboratory is intended to drive the development of innovative power supply solutions forward.
