New York City startup HEVO Power aims to make charging an electric car as easy as finding a parking place. The company, collaborating with New York University, plans to roll out a pilot project by early next year that uses manhole-like units embedded into the pavement near Washington Square Park as wireless charging stations for electric vehicles.*

\”The durable, embedded hardware unit will be deployed as a sustainable infrastructure device in city streets, parking lots and garages, motor pools, highways and other highly trafficked areas,\” the company\’s website says.
