| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the fully charged show Podcast. This week's episode very interesting |
| 0:15.9 | I think a lot of you are going to love what you're here today. This is quite extraordinary |
| 0:20.1 | so as I mentioned in the beginning of conversation with this week's guest I have seen induction or wireless charging many years ago. |
| 0:30.0 | A lot of different companies were launching and experimenting with and developing |
| 0:36.9 | induction charging technology. It then went kind of quiet. We did see the induction charging road in Paris that Reno were involved |
| 0:45.3 | with where you could drive across the top of a long row of induction charging plates at |
| 0:49.7 | like 50 miles an hour and be charging at 32 kilowatts or even more than that. |
| 0:55.0 | It was amazing. |
| 0:56.0 | I'm talking this week to a wonderful man called Mike McHale, who is head of communications |
| 1:01.6 | at a company called Momentum Dynamics who are based in Morven, Pennsylvania. |

| 1:35.9 | as you will hear the technology that momentum dynamics are producing and Rivian who are in the process of manufacturing 100,000 electric |
| 1:45.8 | delivery vans for Amazon in the United States. So this is a really fascinating |
| 1:51.4 | conversation about how this technology has developed and where |
| 1:56.0 | it's going to go and hopefully at some time in the near future we will be able to see this technology |
| 2:01.8 | in working but I will let Michael explain where |
| 2:05.3 | they're first putting in a seriously proper amount of induction charging plates |
| 2:10.9 | in this case to help taxi drivers. |
