WiTricity Introduces Wireless EV Charging Solutions to Modernize Airport Ground Operations

WiTricity, the global leader in wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging, is bringing its industry-leading technology to airports seeking safer, more efficient, and sustainable ground operations. With a portfolio of over 1,300 patents and leadership in international wireless charging standards, WiTricity’s solutions are now helping airports electrify utility fleets and streamline operations.

WiTricity’s MR/1 900W wireless charging system is designed specifically for airport ground support equipment, including golf carts and utility vehicles. The system delivers a host of operational advantages:

  • Safety and reliability: No cables or connectors eliminates hazards and failures.
  • Automatic charging: Vehicles charge every time they park, maximizing uptime.
  • Rugged, all-weather operation: IP-rated, FCC-certified, tested by multiple OEMs, and fully operable in snow, ice, mud, or debris.
  • Reduced maintenance: No moving parts means dramatically lower upkeep costs.
  • Flexible and universal: A common Power Hub and Receiver works across vehicle types, battery chemistries, and suspension configurations.


“Working with airports and ground support teams is incredibly rewarding,” says Joe Benz, CEO of WiTricity. “These organizations understand the importance of safety, reliability, and total cost of ownership. Our wireless charging technology helps them achieve those goals by keeping operations running efficiently, reducing maintenance, and eliminating the downtime and hazards of plug-in systems.”

The MR/1 system is quick to install and charges vehicles as fast—or faster—than traditional plug-in chargers. Auto start/stop functionality ensures efficient charging without driver intervention.

For airports pursuing broader EV strategies, WiTricity also offers:

  • 11kW systems for passenger vehicles and light trucks.
  • 75kW modular systems (scalable up to 450kW) for high-power electric fleets.

By adopting wireless charging, airports can enhance operational efficiency, improve safety, and reduce the total cost of ownership across both utility fleets and passenger-facing EV infrastructure.
