Inductive Wireless Charging of Electric Taxis - University of Duisburg-Essen

Objective/theme

If we can electrify 5 % of taxicabs in Cologne this way, we’ll achieve a savings of 50,000 metric tons of CO2 per year.

Process & benefits

  • Inductive charging does not require a cable. Instead, the current is transported via a magnetic field
  • For each minute, about one kilometer of electrical power can be recharged
  • With an average waiting time at a station of approximately 45 minutes and a whole line of cab drivers, you then end up with a lot of kilometers per hour
