Siemens and Mahle Join Forces to Manufacture a Wireless Charger for Electric Cars. The Technology Could Make Electrified Vehicles Even More Popular.

The wireless charging will be an essential factor in making electric cars increasingly popular in the market. Thus, Siemens and Mahle have reached an agreement to develop new projects. The efforts of the two technology giants are focused on developing a single standard to make the wireless charger for electric cars less complex and more accessible.

In practice, Siemens and Mahle aim to develop hardware and charging infrastructure that allows both parties to operate standardized across the vehicle industry. According to Siemens, the wireless charger is the market of the future and will make life easier for future drivers.

The technical development behind the systems of this type of technology will be coordinated with automotive brands and infrastructure partners to boost operations and develop technologies at a global level. Overall, the wireless charger is of great interest to companies throughout the automotive sector.

Companies Begin Testing for Wireless Charging

At the beginning of this year, Volvo tested a charging solution in Sweden that could enable parking an electric car and driving away with a fully charged battery without any wires.

Volvo is far from being the first company to test wireless electric vehicle charging systems. In addition to Siemens, Mahle, and Volvo, a company called Genesis has an SUV model that can be wirelessly charged, and BMW has been testing the technology for several years.

Volvo announced tests of the wireless charging stations in Sweden, with the testing program scheduled to last three years. The wireless chargers will be responsible for providing 40 kW of power, which is nearly the same as what most wired fast chargers provide.

New Ways to Extend Range

Focusing on extending the range of electric cars, the American company Laser Power System has started developing a propulsion system that uses thorium, an element similar to uranium, to generate energy to power the vehicle.

According to the company’s CEO, Charles Stevens, just one gram of the element can generate energy equivalent to 28,000 liters of gasoline.

The executive states that 8 grams would be enough for electric cars to have infinite range, and the small pieces of thorium were used for nuclear generation and positioned to create a thorium laser.

New Ways to Extend Range

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

The largest precious metals mine under construction in the world is situated on a layer of ore 25 times thicker than common mines in South Africa, and has just connected a third shaft that will quintuple the extraction of platinum, palladium, and gold.

Neither human nor dinosaur: ancestral skeleton nearly 1,000 years old found on eroded road in Australia intrigues archaeologists by the way it was buried

Bolivia requests a plane from the Lula government to distribute humanitarian aid amid protests, roadblocks, fuel shortages, and food scarcity in cities like La Paz.

How much would a Toyota Corolla cost without tax in Brazil? A mid-size sedan priced at R$ 171,000 could drop to around R$ 96,000, showing how much the tax burden weighs on the most desired car of the Brazilian middle class.

An executive says that gasoline is stuck with technology over 100 years old, while electric cars already occupy the present and aim at the future of the automobile.

Chevrolet Onix Activ 2027 with a 1.0 turbo engine of 115 hp, fuel efficiency of up to 15.3 km/l, and 20.1 cm of ground clearance debuts for R$ 116,000 after 7 years, featuring an adventurous look and a 15-year warranty on the oil-bathed belt.

Small, automatic, and reliable car for around R$ 50,000: Kia Picanto combines economy, structural safety, good internal quality, and durable mechanics, but tests show that it makes sense mainly for urban use and not for those who frequently drive on highways.
