VTLVS
AZZ&CO LABS · PROTOTYPE P0.1 · APR 2026

Bear any weight.
Power any wheel.

VTLVS is a single wireless energy pad that identifies any electric vehicle by its weight in under 200 milliseconds — from a 22-kilogram e-bike to a 2.2-tonne SUV — and delivers the exact power it needs. No cables. No confusion. No fragmentation.

The problem

Electric mobility has a plug problem.

There are already more than 1.5 billion electric vehicles in circulation — cars, bikes, scooters, motos, AMRs, drones, boats, wheelchairs. Every category has its own connector, its own protocol, its own app, its own operator. Cities, fleets and homeowners are being asked to install a parallel piece of infrastructure for each one.

  • Seven incompatible connector standards in the passenger car market alone.
  • Shared e-scooters die in streets because no sidewalk charges them.
  • Hotels and malls refuse to commit CAPEX to hardware that only serves 4-wheelers.
  • Governments subsidize a charging network that excludes 60 % of vehicles on the road.
The insight

The future is not another connector. It is the absence of one.

If a surface can sense what is placed on it, identify it instantly, and deliver the right amount of energy at the right frequency — then the connector disappears. So does the operator fragmentation. So does the infrastructure duplication. VTLVS is that surface.

Atlas did not choose what to carry. He carried whatever the gods placed upon his shoulders. That is the specification.
How VTLVS works

Four coils. One decision. Six hundred milliseconds.

A single adaptive pad with four nested transmit coils. Four load cells under the surface weigh the vehicle in real time. The system selects the optimal coil, negotiates a session, and delivers power — before the driver takes their hand off the wheel.

01

Sense

Four shear-beam load cells — one under each corner of the pad — detect contact and measure mass to ±1 kg in under 200 ms. No app, no tag, no action required from the user.

02

Classify

Mass is mapped to vehicle class: < 35 kg → e-bike (Coil D, 250 W), 35–250 kg → scooter/moto (Coil D, 1.5 kW), > 400 kg → car (Coil A/B/C, 7.4–22 kW). RFID + BLE refine the profile if present — but classification never depends on them.

03

Tune

The selected coil enters a resonance sweep across 79–91 kHz, locking to peak coupling (±0.1 kHz) in under 120 ms. A 10 kHz PID loop tracks impedance drift continuously — as battery state, temperature, and position change during the session.

04

Deliver

GaN full-bridge LLC inverter drives the coil at peak efficiency (up to 91.8 %). A 72-LED WS2812B ring on the pad surface communicates state to the user without any screen. Billing is handled through OCPP 2.0.1 and Stripe, or disabled for personal use.

Four markets. One product.

Same pad. Same software. Four business models.

VTLVS is sold as a single SKU. What changes between markets is the upstream wiring, the billing configuration, and the SaaS role. This is the most important strategic decision in the company.

The end of the charging cable in the garage.

A single VTLVS pad in a home garage charges the family car (7.4 kW), the kids' e-bikes (250 W) and the dad's motorcycle (1.5 kW) — without ever plugging anything in. Installed by a certified IRVE electrician in half a day.

Technology

The moat is in the milliseconds.

Competitors treat wireless charging as a power-electronics problem. VTLVS treats it as a real-time classification and resonance-tracking problem. That is where the IP lives.

01 / 04

Adaptive resonance engine

Closed-loop frequency sweep + 10 kHz PID impedance tracking across 79–91 kHz. Locks to peak coupling in < 120 ms and holds it under thermal and positional drift. Peak efficiency 91.8 %.

02 / 04

Weight-first vehicle classification

Primary classification by four load cells in < 200 ms — no tag, no app, no connectivity required. RFID (ISO 15693) and BLE 5.0 refine the profile but are never prerequisites. Reduces false-start rate by an order of magnitude vs tag-only systems.

Multi-coil active selection

Four nested transmit coils (r = 360 / 280 / 200 / 80 mm) on a single pad. Solid-state relay selects the optimal coil. Enables a 90× power dynamic range (250 W → 22 kW) from one piece of hardware.

Object-on-pad safety (DOE)

Thermal camera (MLX90640, 32×24) + 3× NTC probes detect foreign metallic objects and thermal runaway. Shutdown in < 100 ms. IP68 / IK10 sealed enclosure. Radiated emissions within ICNIRP 2010 limits.

Frequently asked questions

The objections we hear — and the answers.

  • Three things, not one. (1) The technical moat is not the coil — it is the software stack: weight classification in under 200 ms + multi-coil selection + adaptive resonance engine. Patent family filed at INPI in Q3 2026 (FR priority, PCT extension). (2) The data moat: every session adds a multi-modal signature (weight / impedance / thermal / Q-factor perturbation) to our foreign-object classifier. One hundred sessions are worth more than one hundred pages of specs. (3) The segment moat: we address the micro-mobility + multi-modal intersection that neither Tesla nor ChargePoint prioritize. Copying us takes them 18–24 months — and they must do it on our turf, not theirs.

The long road

VTLVS is not an EV charger. It is a power protocol.

USB-C did not win because it was a better plug. It won because it was a single abstraction over every device, every port, every use case. VTLVS is the USB-C of electric mobility — a surface-level abstraction between any vehicle that moves on electrons and any place that has access to the grid. A pad in a garage. A pad on a sidewalk. A pad at a port. A pad on a drone landing zone. Same hardware. Same software. Same protocol. Different revenue. Different policy. Different user.
