Technological advancements are enabling the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) to launch a new, faster charging version of its Qi standard – Qi v2.2.1 – which will be branded as Qi2 25W.

The kitchen of the future is one giant step closer to reality with the completion of Ki certification testing of the first Ki Cordless Kitchen products. Following the release of the Ki specification last December, advancing Ki Cordless Kitchen products through certification testing represents a significant milestone in the launch of WPC’s newest standard in the application of wireless power. Ki’s launch follows the launch of Qi2, WPC’s highly successful next-generation standard for small consumer electronics, which was available in over 1.5 billion devices worldwide by the end of its first year.

Qi2 adoption continues expanding exponentially with new wireless power applications rolling out throughout 2025, including an acceleration in Qi2 Android devices, according to the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).

The next phase of wireless power is emerging in the kitchen as the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) sets the stage for the launch of Ki – the global wireless power transfer standard for kitchens around the world. The Ki launch follows the recent introduction of Qi2, WPC’s highly successful next-generation standard for small consumer electronics, which is already available in approximately 1 billion devices worldwide.

The pace of wireless power adoption will continue to accelerate throughout 2024 as more devices - from mobile phones to kitchen appliances – adopt universal standards providing convenience and enhanced user experiences, according to the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).

The Wireless Power Consortium’s (WPC) next generation standard for wireless charging, Qi v2.0, will soon be delivering on its promise of magnetic attachment, faster charging, higher efficiency and greater convenience as the first Qi2 mobile devices complete certification testing. In addition to an enhanced user experience, Qi v2.0 unifies the industry under one global standard.

The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), the leading global standards development organization for wireless power standards, is turning its attention to the emerging and rapidly expanding Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) market for its next wireless charging standard and to provide consumers and manufacturers alike with improved safety and convenience.

The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has released the Qi2 standard with the approval of the Qi v. 2.0 Interface Specification by its Board of Directors. The release of the standard paves the way for WPC to establish a Qi2 Certification Program, enabling member companies to certify products as compatible with the standard.

The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) will introduce a new wireless charging standard to unify the industry under one global standard and provide enhanced convenience and efficiency for mobile devices and wearables.

The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), a global standard development body for wireless power, today announced the release of Qi v1.3, the latest version of its Qi specification for smartphones and small mobile devices. As demand for faster charging of smartphones and small mobile devices accelerates, Qi v1.3 adds features and updates that make it easier for WPC’s member companies to develop products that are safe to use at higher power levels. Qi v1.3 introduces product authentication as a new safety feature, improvements in the compliance testing procedures that make it easier to develop interoperable and safer products.
