According to Electrive, British officials announced this project back in 2020, when they announced that will be funding it with 3.4 million GBP.

Nissan and LEVC (London Electric Vehicle Company) are the two companies that made the project happen.

The nine cabs, fully electric and hybrid, share five charging pads that are located near the Nottingham train station, so taxi drivers can top up their vehicles while waiting for passengers.

The wireless charging system is rated for 90% efficiency, which means that the vehicles are capable of filling their batteries at 10 kW.

An in-car designed system will prompt drivers to properly align their vehicles so that the charging process can begin.

Earlier this year, Stellantis also started testing wireless charging capabilities on EVs with the company's Fiat 500 Electric.

Stellantis used 20 kW chargers for its tests, as they would be better suited for topping up things like e-buses and e-trucks.
