Wireless charging could eliminate many problems EV owners face today, but its deployment seems capital-intensive and complex.
Imagine pulling up in a garage or parking lot in your nearly depleted EV, and having no pesky charging cables to fiddle with, no payment systems to navigate, and no charging apps to download. Just park and walk away. Researchers are taking wireless charging seriously, and one U.S. lab has achieved a breakthrough: 96% efficiency in a 100kW wireless charging test.
“We’ve achieved the highest power density in the world for a wireless charging system for this class of vehicle,” ORNL’s Omer Onar said. Researchers added that they charged the EV with a five-inch air gap. They also say that the new coils are designed to be lightweight and enable higher-density energy flow.
