1) The document discusses current and future trends in electric vehicles, including increasing electrification by major automakers.
2) It describes Qualcomm's wireless electric vehicle charging (WEVC) technology for stationary, semi-dynamic, and dynamic wireless charging of electric vehicles.
3) The technology uses magnetic induction between base pads installed in roads or parking lots and receiving pads in vehicles to transfer power wirelessly for charging.

The Future is Electric and Wireless
We will be electrifying all Mercedes-Benz model series.
Daimler AG, Member of the Board of Management, Thomas Weber
We strive to electrify two-thirds of global automobile unit sales in 2030.
Honda President & CEO, Takahiro Hachigo
By 2025, the BMW Group expects electrified vehicles to account for between
15-25% of sales.
BMW brand
By 2025, we want to sell a million electric cars per year and to be the world
market leader in e-mobility.
Volkswagen brand
...global offerings of electrified vehicles will exceed gasoline-powered vehicles
within the next 15 years.
Ford President and CEO, Mark Fields
…Volvo Cars has stated that it plans to have sold a total of one million
electrified cars by 2025. When we said it, we meant it.
Volvo CEO, Håkan Samuelsson
The trend to go electric is already irreversible. But where is the next growth
area? There’s no doubt that it will be in consumer vehicles, most of them
plug-in hybrid models.
