Transit operator launching test of wireless charging of electric buses in Mannheim, Germany

Green Car Congress

During the “PRIMOVE Mannheim” research project, the electric buses will recharge wirelessly while passengers get on and off the vehicles at bus stops along the inner city route 63. Magnetic shielding under the primary winding (magnetic layer) prevents electromagnetic interference. DC feed cables supply power to the inverters.

Volkswagen previewing mobile quick charging station; trials in 2019, production in 2020

Green Car Congress

Each charging station enables DC quick charging with up to 100 kW. If, however, it is permanently attached to the power supply with up to 30 kW via alternating current, the battery pack perpetually recharges itself. The charging capacity of up to 360 kWh enables up to 15 e-vehicles, including members of Volkswagen’s new ID.
