Field-Focused Load-Leveled Dynamic Wireless Charging System for Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles offer much higher well-to-wheel efficiency than gasoline vehicles and can significantly reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil, lower greenhouse gas emissions, improve local air quality, and support continued technological and economic growth. Despite these advantages, widespread adoption remains constrained by limitations in current battery technology, including high cost, limited driving range, and long charging times. One promising approach to address these challenges is to reduce onboard energy storage and instead deliver power wirelessly to vehicles while they are at a traffic stop or in motion.
