But there’s another way. “You can charge the vehicles when they’re on their routes,” says John Rizzo, president and CEO of InductEV, which has developed a charging system now used by seven municipal transit agencies in Washington State. Plates installed on the ground at locations like bus stops or depots connect wirelessly to charge matching plates installed on the underside of electric buses. “Within two seconds, we’re pushing very high-power energy into the bus,” says Rizzo. “For every minute you sit there, you’re getting three miles of range.” These are independent reviews of the products mentioned, but TIME receives a commission when purchases are made through affiliate links at no additional cost to the purchaser. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094804/inductev-wireless-charging-network/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094804/inductev-wireless-charging-network/"},"headline":"InductEV Wireless Charging Network: the 200 Best Inventions of 2024","datePublished":"2024-10-30T11:48:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T11:54:32.077Z","description":"Find out why InductEV Wireless Charging Network is one of the best inventions of 2024","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094804/inductev-wireless-charging-network/","keywords":["Tech","E-Commerce","list","franchise","Magazine","best inventions"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09d1917a7c84e663/698a8a2d18689231456cd35e/wireless-electric-vehicle-charging-best-inventions.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Chris Stokel-Walker","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/chris-stokel-walker/"}],"creator":"Chris Stokel-Walker","articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09d1917a7c84e663/698a8a2d18689231456cd35e/wireless-electric-vehicle-charging-best-inventions.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094804/inductev-wireless-charging-network/","name":"InductEV Wireless Charging Network: the 200 Best Inventions of 2024"}}]}] ```
