Funding: Approximately $12,000,000 for new awards; up to $8,000,000 per award

Open Date: 04/05/2012

Close Date: 05/31/2012

Selection Announcement: 2012-09-30

Funding Organization: DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory on behalf of the DOE EERE Vehicle Technologies Program

Funding Number: DE-FOA-0000667

Summary:

The objective of this FOA is to research and develop a production-feasible wireless charging system, integrate the system into a production-intent vehicle, and to demonstrate the technology’s readiness to deliver the benefits of static (and possibly quasi-dynamic) wireless charging to drivers of light-duty (10,000 lb Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or less) Grid-Connected Electric Drive Vehicles (GCEDV). While the primary focus of this project is the advancement of static and possibly quasi-dynamic charging, the Department of Energy (DOE) recognizes that the research and demonstration results of this FOA may contribute to the future development of dynamic charging capability. This project shall demonstrate wireless charging technology while being cost competitive and compliant with safety standards
