According to the report, Toyota has set up a laboratory in a gymnasium in Inazawa City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, and is promoting the experiment by using a power transmission device jointly developed with Ossia, a U.S. startup engaged in microwave charging, and a table that displays microwave dynamics. When a smartphone equipped with a power-receiving device was placed several meters away from the transmission device, it started charging in a few seconds.
Toyota Synthetic plans to apply this technology first in the field of home equipment and smart homes, and in the future to use information and communication technology (ICT) in the field of MaaS (Mobility as a Service), a mobility support service that provides multiple modes of transportation.
Xiaomi, Lenovo Motorola phone manufacturers demonstrated the space charging technology in 2021 and realized the support of multiple cell phone charging at the same time. However, two years later, this technology has not yet been applied to mass-produced models.
