I Charge, Therefore I Drive: Current State of Electric Vehicle Charging Systems

I charge, therefore I drive. Is this the new paradigm? The ambitious goals set by governments worldwide to phase out gasoline-powered cars are the driving force behind the upgrade of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructures. The EV industry and roadways departments may be asked to invest more in wireless charging, that is, without the need for any cable. Transmitter pads that can charge the EV in the garage, or even briefly at traffic lights, may convey the stationary wireless charge, whereas coils embedded into roadways may power EVs as they drive overhead. The standardized wireless charge appears to be the optimum solution to placate the anxiety of drivers.
