Episode 42: Liz Allan and Jeremy McCool - Wireless EV Charging, and building it into the vehicles ecosystem.

Liz Allan speaks to Jeremy McCool,  the Founder and CEO of HEVO based in New York. They discuss wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging. Jeremy explains that HEVO offers wireless and plug-in charging options, focusing on improving the EV charging experience for early adopters and fleets. Hevo is partnering with major automakers, including Stalantis, to offer wireless charging as a factory-built solution within the next few years. McCool also discusses the challenges faced by the US in adopting EVs and the need for improved infrastructure with roadway charging and dynamic charging. Additionally, he talks about wireless charging pads that can be surface mounted or placed under the asphalt for public locations and the importance of customer encouragement in promoting the use of wireless charging systems.

Jeremy McCool Bio:
Jeremy McCool is a veteran who spent 15 months in Baghdad leading troops into combat as part of the surge program. After that, he moved to Brooklyn, where he pursued a master's degree in urban policy with a focus on sustainability. In 2010, he founded Hevo, which began as a program in one of his classes at Columbia University. Hevo is a cleantech company that develops solutions for electric vehicles. When he started the company, there were less than 20,000 electric cars on the road, and he had to work on his pitch without investors, engineers, or an HQ, operating out of the library for the first six months. However, Hevo soon succeeded and was accepted into the first cleantech incubator in the Northeast.
