Flexible Charging Solution by Ericsson and Volvo Puts Electric Cars in the Fast Lane Posted by (1:24) By: Wheels On Edge Uploaded 9 years ago 2333 Views 2333 Views Share Description Flexible charging solution puts electric cars in the fast lane. Through an innovative research project across several industries, Ericsson will bring mobile connectivity to electric cars and put choice and control over the charging schedule into the hands of drivers. The new architecture allows drivers to control charging of cars while they are plugged into any ordinary power outlet. Additionally, the system directs energy costs to the car owners' bill. The driver sets the time and amount to charge on a console in the car or remotely via a smartphone or tablet. The specially equipped Volvo Electric C30 will be on display at Ericsson's Hall 6 at LaFira during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, from February 27-29, 2012.
