An Evaluation of Wireless Charging Technology for Electric Vehicle

Abstract

AbstractThe biggest hurdles for the globe throughout the coming decades will be climate change as well as the depletion of fossil fuels. One of the primary causes of climate change is an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases. As a result, electric vehicles (EVs) have been identified as one of the possible solutions to reducing emissions as well as reliance on fossil fuels. Profitable commercialization and the faster adoption rate of EVs require faster, more cost-effective, and more reliable charging infrastructure. Conversely, several concerns, including such restricted driving range, a shortage with charging stations, battery destruction, and so forth, have been hampering the development of EVs. To alleviate EV range anxiety, it’s also necessary to establish its highly developed charging infrastructure. To confront this same majority of these issues, a wireless charging system (WCS) could be one of the options for charging electric vehicles without a plug. The aim of this article should provide an overview of the main wireless power transfer techniques for charging a battery in an electric vehicle. Besides that, the obstacles and drawbacks of wireless charging technologies, and solutions to overcome these problems all are discussed extensively. Prospective ideas based on wireless electric vehicle charging systems, including “Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)” as well as “In-wheel” WCS, also are addressed.KeywordsConductive chargingElectric vehicle (EV)Vehicle-to-grid (V2G)Wireless electric vehicle charging system (WEVCS)
