Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicles

Wireless charging of electric vehicles (EVs) has been in development for several years in preparation for the growth in adoption of these vehicles. Wireless charging systems today offer an efficient, flexible means of charging EVs from multiple classes and at a range of power levels from a common ground source. Standardization activities are well underway to ensure compatibility between systems across vehicle makers and location. This paper provides a snapshot of wireless charging technology as applied to EVs.
