Practical electric car wireless charging station available

Charging problem has been one of the main bottlenecks restricting the development of electric vehicles. The European Commission released a communique on the 28th that the EU researchers have developed a more practical and efficient wireless charging method for electric vehicles designed to increase the appeal of electric vehicles to users and help electric vehicle manufacturers to enhance their competitiveness.

The communique said that the "fast charging" project funded by the EU researched the design of a new wireless charging station for the electric vehicle in the stopped state, which is easy to use and easy to maintain, and has clear and intuitive prompts to facilitate the driver to Charging a good parking location. In addition, the new charging station can also exchange charging data with electric vehicles, including user codes, supplier codes, charging durations, and meter information.

Researchers say the information exchange process is controlled by tablets placed in electric cars, thereby simplifying direct communication between the driver and the charging station. They are also developing a new application that prompts the location of the charging station near the driver of the electric vehicle and ensures communication between the charging station and the vehicle.

In addition, the project researchers are also developing wireless charging technology in the car's state of travel, hoping to significantly increase the mileage of electric vehicles and reduce the size of the vehicle's energy storage system. At present, they are trying to improve the efficiency of the inductive power transfer module, which allows the EV to be easily recharged through a wireless connection.

Researchers believe that if there is a planned area along the road with induction panels to charge electric vehicles on the move, it is expected to extend the mileage of electric vehicles.

From October 2014 to October 2015, the team conducted a pilot validation of the new charging station in the French city of Douai in northern France and will evaluate the efficiency and feasibility of wireless charging at the conclusion of the validation and its contribution to users of electric vehicles The benefits and impact on the grid.
