Press Release:
RICHMOND, Va., June 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Evatran Group, Inc. (“Evatran”), in partnership with Mr. Electric Franchise Group, announced today that the companies have signed a Services Agreement to cover the installation of PLUGLESS wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging systems across the United States and Canada.
The PLUGLESS L2 is the world’s first wireless charging system designed specifically for electric vehicles. After two years of field trials with partners such as Google, Hertz, and Duke Energy, and receiving the industry’s only safety certification from Electronic Testing Laboratories (ETL), the PLUGLESS System is now available to individual Nissan LEAF and Chevrolet Volt owners. The system charges as quickly as conventional corded systems and all vehicle features, such as charge-timers and phone applications, can be used seamlessly with the PLUGLESS system. Additional vehicles and model years will be announced this summer.
“Our partnership with Mr. Electric ensures that PLUGLESS Systems will be installed in homes across the country with the highest regard to customer convenience and safety,” commented Rebecca Hough, Evatran CEO and Co-Founder. “We’re thrilled with the positive feedback from our early PLUGLESS owners and look forward to installing additional systems with support from the Mr. Electric electrician network and our growing network of dealership partners.”
Evatran and Mr. Electric have started training installers in key electric vehicle areas in the US and Canada, with additional geographies rolling out towards the fall of 2014.
“The PLUGLESS system brings exciting new options to the consumer and opens new doors of opportunity in EV and green technology,” said Joel Worthington, president of Mr. Electric. “We’re very excited to join with Evatran to bring the next wave of cutting-edge technology to the marketplace.”
