SAE International publishes new J2954 wireless charging standard

Green Car Congress

After a communications handshake, charging begins automatically without a physical corded connection. Power is transferred by creating a magnetic resonance field between the transmitting pad on the ground (wired to the grid) and a receiving pad fitted on the underside of the vehicle. and three levels of grid input to the GA up to 11.1

This Essential Element of the Power Grid Is in Critically Short Supply

Cars That Think

To Nick de Vries, chief technology officer at the solar-energy developer Silicon Ranch , a transformer is like an interstate on-ramp: It boosts the voltage of the electricity that his solar plants generate to match the voltage of grid transmission lines. Their very durability shoulders the grid. The company isnt alone in its quandary.
