Even though home charging is already simpler than refueling a gasoline car, Evatran believes it can be even better. Their Plugless Power system uses inductive charging technology. This system allows drivers to charge their vehicles simply by parking over a floor-mounted pad. No cables. No plugging in. Instead, power transfers wirelessly across an air gap to the vehicle’s receiver. ![Bmw i3 electric car charging wirelessly via plugless power system in a suburban driveway](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/FF21A612- F8CC-42D1-A2D0-1779CF3C491E.png?resize=780%2C780&quality=50&ssl=1 "FF21A612-F8CC- 42D1-A2D0-1779CF3C491E - The Green Living Guy") A BMW i3 uses Plugless Powers [wireless EV charging](https://greenlivingguy.com/2025/07/wireless-charging-ev-the-future-of-electric-vehicles/) pad installed at a home As a result, EV owners can enjoy hands-free, effortless charging. Moreover, this technology reduces wear on charging ports and cables. It aims to boost reliability over time. ### Sears Home Services Brings Nationwide Reach To make this system viable for homeowners, Evatran needed an installation partner with strong experience and broad coverage. [Sears](https://greenlivingguy.com/2013/02/ecotality-and-sears-expand-relationship-unveil-electric-vehicle-chargers-in-tennessee-and-arizona/) Home Services was a natural choice. Firstly, Sears [Home Services](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/02/home-services-comforts-we-often-take-for-granted/) has technicians nationwide. Additionally, they already specialize in home energy products, including appliance installation and maintenance. Through this partnership, Sears will handle the assessment, sales consultation, and professional installation of the Plugless Power system. EV owners will be able to schedule in-home consultations. Technicians will evaluate electrical requirements, offer recommendations, and ensure safe, code-compliant installation. Consequently, customers can enjoy peace of mind knowing the system was installed by experts. ### Pilot Sales and Early Availability The [Evatran home charger](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/04/electric-car-engine-removal-for-conversion-projects/) has announced plans to begin selling its Plugless Power units through limited commercial trials starting in early 2012. Initially, the program will focus on a small group of early adopters willing to test the system and provide feedback. Meanwhile, residential sales are expected to follow soon after the pilot phase. As demand grows, Sears Home Services will be ready to expand installations across multiple regions. By partnering with an established service provider, Evatran ensures it can scale quickly once the system is ready for broader release. ### Supporting the EV Revolution This partnership arrives at a critical time for electric vehicles in the United States. Automakers have launched new all-electric and plug-in hybrid models. Incentives and government programs are boosting interest. However, many potential buyers still worry about charging. While public charging stations are expanding, most EV charging happens at home. Therefore, making home charging easier is essential. Moreover, wireless charging has the potential to set a new standard for convenience. Drivers simply park and walk away. As a result, EVs become even more user-friendly. Additionally, this technology could eventually support integration with smart-grid systems. For now, Evatran is focused on getting the hardware into garages and proving that wireless charging can work safely and reliably. ### A Milestone for Home Charging By teaming up with Sears Home Services, Evatran is removing one of the key barriers to adoption. Not everyone is comfortable installing new electrical equipment themselves. Sears’ expertise ensures customers get clear advice and dependable service. Meanwhile, Evatran focuses on refining and selling its cutting-edge charging systems. Ultimately, this partnership is designed to make EV ownership more practical for more people. With simpler charging, the transition to electric vehicles becomes less intimidating. ### Looking Ahead As Evatran home charger moves into pilot sales, the company is gathering real-world feedback. Lessons from these early adopters will shape the next phase of rollout. At the same time, Sears Home Services will develop training for its technicians to ensure consistent, high-quality installations nationwide. Together, the Evatran home charger is laying the groundwork for a new era of EV home charger—one that’s easier, faster, and completely hands-free. This collaboration shows that innovation isn’t just about the car. It’s about the entire ownership experience. With this move, Evatran and Sears hope to make the idea of charging as easy as parking in your driveway. [Source](http://www.pluglesspower.com): Plugless Power™, developed by Evatran™.
