Innovation in EV Transportation
Pacific Transformer's role in EV innovation: from the Chevy Volt and hydrogen fuel cells to wireless transit charging and Tesla's Supercharger network.
We have designed and manufactured power solutions for almost every electric vehicle on the road today.
Over the years, Pacific Transformer has been fortunate to play a part in the early development of electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicles. In fact, we were a key design partner in General Motors' first mainstream hybrid vehicles which included the Chevy Volt and also designed and built high-current transformers and inductors used in hydrogen fuel cell applications.
Since then, electric vehicles have outgrown the early adopters and the highly eco-conscience. Today, electric vehicles have proven to be the future of transportation and even though almost every major EV manufacturer are now customers, our expertise in developing innovative technologies for the sector has not waned. As the industry has grown so has the innovation in reducing the tradeoffs associated with electric vehicles.
Today, our team is working with companies developing game-charging wireless charging solutions that are poised to transform public transit. This technology has been successfully deployed in pilot programs and removes the need to charge at a station by way of strategically placed wireless charging pads within a route. This effectively makes the vehicle's mileage unlimited.
We are also working with companies developing rapid charging infrastructure needed to continue to lower the barrier of electric vehicles. This includes Tesla's High-Speed Supercharger network.
Additionally, we have been working with traditional mainstream motorcycle manufacturers looking to add electrically-propelled 2-wheeled vehicles to their product lines.
As the EV industry continues to grow, Pacific Transformer will continue to provide unique solutions for innovative technologies that are sure to push the industry further into the mainstream.
