Electric Vehicle Advantages And Disadvantages

I. Introduction Sustainability is a concept that is starting to spread all over the globe nowadays. The automotive industry could not be an exception and the electric vehicle (EV), over the last two decades, has become a viable competitor to the internal combustion counterpart. The wireless charging of such vehicles is an implementation that could benefit greatly the whole EV ecosystem. Inductive and wireless energy transfer is a way of charging batteries without the necessity of a power cable. One of the few disadvantages of the EVs is that they have to rely on a battery whose limited power density poses the major bottleneck of the current implementation. In order to compete, in terms of range, with an ordinary car the EV needs a big and heavy battery which hinders the overall cost efficiency in the long run [1]. Charging the battery with conventional ways e.g. power plug introduces some…show more content…
It can be classified as either stationary or dynamic wireless charging. For the stationary part, all the owner has to do is park the car to the designated areas, whereas the dynamic charging offers the ability to drive and at the same time charge the battery.Thus, enabling the car to run continuously without a stop and also lower the size of the battery interface by 20% [2]. However to apply these technologies, a performance optimization as well as a standardized and cost effective approach is necessary. This paper begins with the basic wireless energy transfer theory and then provides an overview of the main components of such a…show more content…
