Wireless charging powers up Detroit again—with UPS’s Xos delivery vans

Electreon is powering a UPS last-mile delivery van—bringing wireless charging from city streets to parcel drop-offs. Building on the nation’s first public wireless EV roadway, this second Detroit project takes the technology to delivery fleets, keeping them running continuously through busy urban routes without range anxiety.
Funded by the Michigan Mobility Funding Platform (MMFP), the project integrates Electreon’s wireless tech into an Xos stepvan at a UPS facility in Detroit. The system delivers hands-free, cable-free power in a dense operational hub, proving how neatly it fits into real-world logistics.
The goal is simple yet bold: show how wireless charging—whether parked or in motion—boosts fleet efficiency, cuts downtime, and removes the need for oversized batteries or costly grid upgrades. More range, lower costs, and greater freedom to move. The result: electrification that’s both practical and profitable.
Together, Electreon, UPS, and Xos are shaping a new model for fleet charging—one that makes operations more efficient and far more convenient. And it’s another big step in Michigan’s leadership in sustainable mobility, as Detroit powers ahead into a cleaner, more connected future.
