Wireless Charging by induction for EV's in New York City

By: ACCESS Newswire

Presenting wireless charging by induction as a capital commitment in an urban setting

SmithieForMayor NYC 2025

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 15, 2025 / We should know by now that wired hook up for charging EV's are not the best system for a densely populated urban area like New York City. And if we are as serious as I am about tackling quality of air, fumes and road congestion in the city, then converting our EV's to a wireless charge by induction system, is the best option for an urban area like ours.

Charging by magnetic induction instead of a wired hook up is a more effective way to get a huge amount of people - living in multi-storied apartment buildings, to charge. It is also a good way to get those who park on the street to pull up, pay and charge.

To make this a reality in the city, first, we need to change our electric grid from AC to DC. Second, we need to build waste-to-thermal energy plants in a few selected areas all over the city. Third, re-curate our block of energy grid by turning it into a set of mini-grids, with the aim of directing energy resources to where it is needed the most. Fourth, replace charging hook-up spots with high energy transfer plates/discs with copper coils.

Fifth, reconfigure current EV batteries to accommodate a receiver plate/disc with copper coils in the underbelly of the EV so it could be magnetically coupled with the ground plate/disc to enable a direct induction charge for the battery when driven over in any parking spot in the city.

Sixth, build our own data centers and our own cloud infrastructure to make this cloud compliance for activating better power flow transfer as well as managing power correction.

This is the best way to serve many EV owners in densely populated apartment blocks as well as those on public parking spaces on the streets. Another thing is, it is the best option for organizing a quick cook out by the side walk, since future apartments in the city might not come with a fully functioning kitchen. And since this energy transfer set up is green - with no fumes or flames, all you need do is spread out an aluminum foil on the magnetic plate/disc, activate charge on your phone, and start cooking in the open.

This is the way of the future. It is long overdue, it is more than necessary for a city like New York, and doesn't need to come across as a quick lesson in urban development.

I proposed this - as a capital commitment, in my previous campaign for Mayor city of New York almost a decade ago, and I am proposing it again as part of my NYC Poor Relief Campaign package to use public and communal projects ReBuildNewYorkCity. I pray and hope we don't make the mistake of electing the wrong person for Mayor, but if I am elected Mayor, this winter, this is one of the many capital commitment plans I have in store for the city.

Approaching this - charging by induction for EV's in New York City, as a capital commitment will not only create new green jobs for New Yorkers', it will help equip a lot of young New Yorkers' with new skills. Many of which will be technical, administrative as well as logistical. The city could export these as a development package to nations worldwide, or to other states in the United States as a service.

As Mayor, I need two years to make this happen.

I am Abbey Laurel-Smith, an Independent candidate running for Mayor of the City of New York. As your candidate, I favor the general well being of all New Yorkers. And as much as I promise to work to improve the living experience for retirees, students, city workers and low income families, I also promise to work hard on bringing back those high earning out-migrators who left the city for neighboring states during the pandemic.

I put New Yorkers first.

Join me, vote better live this general election and let's rebuild your city.
