Wireless Power Transfer for Electric Vehicles
Charging your electric vehicle (EV) while driving? Yes, you can technically charge an EV while driving through dynamic wireless charging (inductive charging), which uses magnetic fields to transfer energy from the road to the vehicle. In this episode of Reimagined Energy, Dr. Chris Rouse discusses his research on wireless charging technology for electric vehicles at the University of New Brunswick (UNB). He explains the mechanics of wireless power transfer, the challenges of winter conditions, and the efficiency of charging systems. The discussion also covers the future of payment systems for charging, the engagement of UNB students in research projects, and the ongoing challenges and directions for future research in this innovative field.
Takeaways
⛽Wireless charging technology can significantly enhance electric vehicle efficiency.
🛣️The roadway can be retrofitted with wireless chargers for EVs, and wireless power transfer eliminates the need for physical contact.
☃️Snow and ice do not significantly affect wireless charging technology.
🔋The future of transportation will rely on wireless technology.
