Building on Evatran's first product trials around its Headquarters in Wytheville, Virginia and its prototype installation at Google's Mountain View campus in early 2011, this Program will follow market leaders from six industry segments as they trial Plugless Power systems on their own Volt and Leaf vehicles. Participants range from car rental agencies to corporate campuses to utility providers and installations will occur in locations across the United States. Participants will be asked to provide feedback on daily usage routines, user interfaces, and any additional functionality needed. This Program will culminate in a body of feedback for Evatran to incorporate into the production design of its aftermarket product line, launching towards the end of 2012.

Announcements regarding the participants of the Apollo Launch Program are planned for early January with installations beginning in February 2012. A second phase of the Program is planned for the third quarter of 2012 to include additional participants across the country.

According to Hough, this trial is an important step in bringing the technology to individual EV owners, as well. Evatran is planning additional initiatives in 2012 to reach EV owners across the country and allow them to experience the ease of hands-free charging technology on their own cars. Hough said, "We want to show the world that the repetitive plug-in, unplug process doesn't have to be part of EV ownership; we want to tell the market that a better option is on the way."

Evatran and Yazaki North America have a Joint Development Agreement to develop and market Plugless Power technology to automotive manufacturers as a factory or dealership option. With joint resources, Evatran and Yazaki are developing the hands-free charging system to be used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
