Autolane, a Palo Alto–based technology company developing operating platforms for autonomous commerce, and HEVO Inc, a New York company specializing in wireless charging technology for electric vehicles, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at integrating automated wireless charging into autonomous vehicle operations. The collaboration combines Autolane’s autonomous vehicle orchestration platform with HEVO’s patented wireless charging technology to create a unified system capable of managing curbside logistics while enabling vehicles to recharge automatically. The integrated platform is designed to support autonomous deliveries, pickup services, and rideshare operations without requiring human involvement in the charging process.
Autolane’s platform functions as a coordination layer for autonomous vehicle fleets, enabling them to manage stops, route planning, and curbside operations across locations such as retail centers, commercial campuses, and logistics hubs. Through the partnership, vehicles operating on Autolane’s system will be able to recharge automatically during idle periods using HEVO’s Rezonant™ wireless charging hardware and Journey™ software platform.
The system eliminates the need for manual plug-in charging and enables vehicles to replenish power while waiting between assignments. By integrating wireless charging into the operational workflow, the platform allows autonomous fleets to maximize vehicle uptime while reducing operational complexity and infrastructure constraints.
The companies plan to launch their first commercial trials in 2026 using electric vehicle platforms equipped with HEVO’s wireless charging hardware. These trials will test automated vehicle arrival and alignment with charging systems, wireless charging during dwell time, and real-time monitoring of charging activity through HEVO’s software platform.
In addition, the trials will integrate charging data directly into Autolane’s mission-planning system, enabling vehicles to plan routes and assignments while accounting for energy requirements. The testing phase will provide operational insights as the companies prepare to scale deployments across additional markets in the United States.
The joint platform brings together several complementary technologies. Autolane’s curbside operating system manages vehicle coordination across commercial environments including retail locations, restaurants, and mobility hubs. HEVO contributes its UL-certified Rezonant™ wireless charging hardware, designed to meet industry standards for commercial and fleet applications, along with its Journey™ software platform that manages charging operations, system monitoring, and analytics.
Together, these technologies allow autonomous vehicles to navigate to designated service hubs, complete their delivery or mobility tasks, and recharge wirelessly before returning to service. The integration is designed to streamline the operational cycle of autonomous fleets and support continuous vehicle availability.
Recent policy developments in the United States aimed at simplifying permitting procedures for autonomous vehicles have further accelerated the growth of the sector. These regulatory changes have created favorable conditions for companies developing infrastructure and software designed to support autonomous mobility at scale.
Ben Seidl, CEO and Co-Founder of Autolane, said the partnership addresses one of the remaining operational barriers in autonomous mobility. He noted that while autonomous vehicles can already navigate and complete complex tasks, charging has typically required manual intervention. Integrating wireless charging into the platform allows vehicles to complete their assignments and recharge automatically.
Jeremy McCool, Founder and CEO of HEVO, said the partnership demonstrates how autonomous mobility systems can be supported by equally autonomous charging infrastructure. He emphasized that combining HEVO’s wireless charging technology with Autolane’s vehicle coordination platform creates a scalable framework for future autonomous vehicle deployments.
Following the initial trials, the companies plan to expand installations across additional Autolane-enabled locations during 2026. Target deployment areas include retail and restaurant clusters, last-mile logistics centers, university campuses, and mixed-use commercial properties. The integrated platform offers several operational advantages, including hands-free wireless charging, automated fleet charging workflows, rapid installation without extensive construction, compatibility with multiple electric vehicle platforms, and reduced operating costs by eliminating manual charging labor.
Autolane is headquartered in Portland, Oregon and develops software platforms that manage the coordination of autonomous vehicles for delivery, rideshare, and mobility services. HEVO, based in New York, develops wireless charging hardware and software systems designed to support electric vehicle fleets and next-generation mobility platforms. The partnership represents a significant step toward fully automated mobility ecosystems in which vehicles can navigate, perform tasks, and recharge without human involvement.
HEVO is advancing the next generation of electric mobility with its wireless charging infrastructure. Its proprietary technology allows electric vehicles to charge automatically without the need for cables or manual connections. Established by industry expert Jeremy McCool, the company is driving the rollout of cable-free charging systems for both fleet operators and everyday users.
