This IIT Kanpur startup just developed wireless charging system for EVs

Simactricals, incubated at the prestigious Startup Incubation and Innovation Centre (SIIC), IIT Kanpur, has announced the development of its wireless charging system for electric vehicles (EVs).

Founded in October 2020, Simactricals recently raised Rs 75 lakh through SanchiConnect pre-seed cohort program. This is in addition to Rs 44 lakh that the company has secured in government grants.

Simactricals' wireless charging system is designed to cater to a wide array of electric vehicles (EVs), including two-wheelers, three-wheelers and passenger vehicles (PVs). It can also be used to charge warehouse bots, rovers and drones.

The company developed its first prototype within 45 days. The inaugural project involved the creation of a wireless charging solution for Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) drones, allowing these unmanned aerial vehicles to land on designated pads for charging. The initial success laid the foundation for Simactricals to expand its reach within the EV ecosystem.

«Simactricals is driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to simplifying the EV charging experience. Our wireless charging technology represents a leap forward in convenience and efficiency, making it easier than ever for EV owners to power up. We are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the EV industry,» said Mihir Mishra, Founder and Director, Simactricals.

«At SanchiConnect, we are proud to support hardware deep tech startups like Simactricals that are leading the charge in sustainable technology. Simactricals' wireless EV charging system aligns perfectly with our mission to foster environmental responsibility and drive positive change,» said Sunil Shekhawat, CEO, SanchiConnect.

At present, Simactricals is engaged with two-wheeler and three-wheeler manufacturers, collaborating on five proof of concepts (POCs) to demonstrate the efficacy of its wireless charging infrastructure.
