The potential for accelerating EV adoption has caught the eye of Congress. Last year, US Representative Haley Stevens (D-MI) introduced the “Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging Grant Program Act of 2023.” The grant program would address “some of the biggest challenges associated with electrification,” Rep. Stevens explained in a press statement.

“Wireless charging can reduce battery size and cost, extend driving range, reduce pressure on the electric grid, and enable the electrification of autonomous vehicles,” Stevens also noted.
