Inductive charging of EVs in motion - University of Stuttgart

Make it easier to charge e-vehicles even as they move

  • The concept would help automate the charging process so that a rechargeable vehicle battery could be recharged while sitting in a parking lot or paused at a traffic light or driving on selected sections of roads
  • EVs can be charged without cables while driving or while stationary
  • For dynamic charging while driving, induction coils would be installed on the road surface
  • When a vehicle travels over the top of the coils, the coils are activated, and a transfer is made via a magnetic field
