The Plugless system delivers Level 2 hands-free EV charging via electromagnetic induction at 3.3 kW and 7.2 kW, with no physical cable connection required. The first system was sold to Google in 2011 for employee use at the Mountain View campus, and consumer sales commenced in 2014.

Plugless holds the record as the first wireless EV charger to reach 1 million cumulative charge hours.
