Do you like to see Jin Yong's novels? Do you think that the space in the novel is very magical? I always dream that I have this skill. But fantasy is always fantasy, we still don't want to be addicted. However, the content that Xiaobian introduced today is really similar to the idea of ​​taking things out of the air! Let’s take a look!

Recently, ChargePoint has introduced a new feature that allows electric car owners to charge their vehicles through their mobile phones and near field communication technology.

Of course, this does not mean that you can charge your electric car with your mobile phone. The company operates a huge electric vehicle charging network, and today it is launching a "one-touch charging" feature, which allows owners to use their own Android, iPhone or Apple Watch for more than 40,000 charging terminals in North America. The vehicle is charged.

Prior to this, drivers who want to charge must pass an RFID card, they will receive a card when they sign up for the ChargePoint network, or they can also be charged via ChargePoint's mobile app. The "one-touch charging" means that the driver no longer needs to take out the RFID card or open the application, just "touch" the sensing area with the NFC-enabled mobile phone.

Founded in California in 2007, ChargePoint has the highest visibility in the US market and its services have been promoted to Australia. Recently, the company has received another $125 million to enter Europe, and its total equity financing has reached nearly $300 million.

Compared to the automotive market, the global electric vehicle market is still very small, but it is growing very fast. Stimulated by policies such as tax relief and even exemption, Europe has become the world's second largest electric vehicle market after China. Volvo recently announced that it will only manufacture electric and hybrid vehicles from 2019. Uber also plans to replace all UberX vehicles in London with electric and hybrid vehicles from 2019.

At present, this new NFC "one-touch" technology is only used in the US market, but it will gradually spread to more European regions. ChargePoint said that the penetration rate of this technology in Europe will increase dramatically in 2018, and we will see it gradually enter the major markets.

With the introduction of the Tesla Volkswagen Model 3, sales of pure electric vehicles in the US increased by 47% in 2017. Earlier this month, Tesla also announced that it is bringing the network of super fast charging systems to major city centers and highways.

At present, this "one-touch charging" function is only used in Android 4.4 or above, iPhone 6 and above, and Apple Watch. Users can create a ChargePoint Pass by clicking on “Add Pass to Apple Wallet” in the ChargePoint app. Then they just need to press their finger on the Touch ID and put the phone in the charging station to start charging. For Apple Watch users, they only need to double-click the button on the side and bring the watch near the contactless reader of the charging post.

Plano Concave Lens

Plano-concave lenses diverge the light, with a negative focal length, one of which is flat and the other is concave. It is often used for beam expansion, projection and enlargement of the focal length of the optical system. Antireflection coating options include UV, VIS, NIR, and SWIR.
Plano-concave lenses with negative focal length are often used in imaging or beam collimation applications. Coated lenses are also widely used in visible light and near-infrared fields. Germanium, silicon or zinc selenide substrates are suitable for infrared applications, and fused silica is suitable for ultraviolet application.
