Abstract

This paper gives an overview of current wireless charging technologies on electric vehicles (EVs) charging. In general, the near-field technologies are preferred over far-field ones. Inductive power transfer and strongly coupled magnetic resonance technologies are chosen for detailed review. Furthermore, special issues related to EV applications are also discussed, namely efficient power supply, misalignment tolerance, multiple pick-up control, simultaneous power and data transmission and shielding methods.
