Smart Wireless Charging Road System for Electric Vehicles

Project Description

Title

Smart Wireless Charging Road System for Electric Vehicles (EVs)

Introduction

The Smart Wireless Charging Road System is an innovative transportation infrastructure designed to charge electric vehicles while they are moving or parked on specially equipped roadways. The system uses wireless power transfer (WPT) technology based on electromagnetic induction or resonant magnetic coupling to transfer electrical energy from charging coils embedded beneath the road surface to receiver coils installed in EVs. This technology reduces dependence on large battery packs, extends driving range, minimizes charging downtime, and supports the widespread adoption of sustainable transportation.

Problem Statement

One of the major challenges facing electric vehicle adoption is range anxiety and the time required for battery charging. Conventional charging stations require vehicles to stop for extended periods, creating inconvenience for users. The Smart Wireless Charging Road System addresses these issues by enabling continuous charging during travel, improving vehicle efficiency and user convenience.

Objectives
