IT168 Information Formula E in 2016-2017 in Hong Kong has arrived, and the electric equation has attracted more and more attention from users. This year, in addition to the previous electric equation, it also brought the electric RV Challenge, but the biggest highlight of this year is still the wireless charging solution provided by Qualcomm Halo. It applies to this competition safety car (BMW i8), medical vehicles and guidance. Car (BMW i3), future Qualcomm Halo will also be matched to home new energy cars, mothers no longer have to worry about my electric car is dead.
Safety Car (BMW i8)
TECHEETAH Team
The global venues for Formula E include London, England, Rome, Italy and Los Angeles, USA, as well as Hong Kong Station 2016-2017. In fact, electric cars developed by various car companies, including France's Spark Racing Technologies, will be able to accelerate to 60 miles per hour in less than three seconds, and the maximum speed in urban roads will exceed 130 miles per hour. The biggest highlight this year was the latest addition to the Panasonic Jaguar team and TECHEETAH, which also became Formula E’s first Chinese team. This shows that new energy electric racing has gradually entered our lives.
Safety car (BMW i8), medical car and boot car (BMW i3)
Formula E officially designated rescue vehicles and work vehicles as safety vehicles (BMW i8), medical vehicles and guided vehicles (BMW i3). They still use Qualcomm Halo wireless charging technology. The maximum power of wireless charging technology is 7.4 kilowatts, which is close to 94%. The efficiency of the wired charging system. Qualcomm's Halo wireless charging technology can bury the charging pad in concrete. You don't need to see it in the garage, so you can keep it clean and not appear confused. This Formula E also placed Qualcomm's Halo wireless charging technology at the entrance of the track. The BMW i8 and BMW i3 rescue vehicles are always charged or fully charged. Once an accident occurs, they can implement the rescue with maximum efficiency.
Qualcomm Halo Wireless Charging Kit
In addition, Graeme Davison also announced to the media at the press conference that the future BMW i8 and more OEM cars will be equipped with Qualcomm Halo wireless charging technology. Users will be given a wireless charging kit when they buy a car. The latest generation of Qualcomm Halo wireless charging technology can be adjusted according to the model. The BMW i8 has a maximum power of 7.4 kilowatts and is capable of driving 37 miles per hour. In the future, home-use wireless charging vehicles are equipped with standard 11-kilowatt wireless charging and 22-kilowatt fast wireless charging. According to the BMW i8 car's charging speed, Qualcomm Halo's fast wireless charging allows electric cars to travel 110 kilometers an hour. In the future we can understand charging for 5 minutes and driving 7 kilometers.
Graeme Davison said that in the future Qualcomm will also vigorously promote Qualcomm's Halo wireless charging technology and provide more complete solutions to OEM OEMs. In the future, Qualcomm's Halo wireless charging technology will be the same as today's smartphone Wi-Fi, not only for wireless charging at home, but also for wireless charging in shopping malls, parking lots, cafes and even roadsides. The promotion of Qualcomm's Halo wireless charging technology has also greatly promoted the popularization of new energy vehicles, solved the problem of the new energy electric vehicle's life, and provided great convenience for OEM OEMs in the R&D process.
Formula E Electric Racing
In terms of 5G, last year Qualcomm worked with Mercedes AMG to use the 5GHz spectrum Wi-Fi to achieve wireless download of raced telemetry data during Formula One practice. The successful deployment of this technology marks a major improvement over the previous wired data offloading process. We believe that with the popularity of new energy vehicles in the future, more teams will also collaborate with Qualcomm to use the 5G spectrum for wireless downloads in Formula E events.

One after another more car brands join the Formula E event
Qualcomm’s vision for the future is that Halo technology will be “embedded†in the future and “running is chargingâ€. Even more commendable is that Qualcomm Halo has more than 90% charging efficiency compared to the loss of traditional cables when transferring electrical energy. It is extremely efficient and clean. In addition, Qualcomm is also the first supplier of automotive 4G LTE solutions. In early 2014, it also announced the first automotive-oriented Xilong automotive solution. Among the Xiaolong 820 series chips we are familiar with, there are also adaptive automotive solutions. Qualcomm is not only a mobile chip solution provider, it is also a complete ecological solution provider.
