SAE publishes J2954 Recommended Practice (RP) enabling wireless charging to 11 kW

Green Car Congress

The GA contains a grid-connected Power Factor Correction (PFC) converter, followed by a DC-AC inverter, a filter and impedance matching network (IMN) connected to the GA coil. Thus, it enables customers and taxi fleets a way to charge without the need for human interaction.

waiting in traffic, taxi lines, wherever driving is at a slow pace), to fully dynamic charging. Matt Shirk from the Idaho National Laboratory reported on the testing of the PLUGLESS Level 2 EV Charging System (3.3 kW) by EvatranGroup being done at the lab (as well as testing of DC fast charging and conductive charging).

The DC and fast charging infrastructures for BEVs are very expensive to construct [ 13 ] & operate, and are wasteful of electricity inversely to the square of charge time (meaning ½ the charge time 4 times the losses, and ⅓ the charge time 9 times the losses). BEVs have an ongoing problem with range anxiety. [ MIT News 15 Jan 2015. [
