While OEMs and utilities continue to define and refine hardware standards and communication protocols for smart charging, a tremendous amount of work needs to be done in preparing both the grid and the process to accommodate the expected influx of plug-ins, and to make the process as easy as possible for consumers.

Aiming to boost confidence in battery-powered cars by ensuring drivers can always find somewhere to plug in, grants included in the infrastructure law will help states build a charging network designed to reach highways in almost every corner of the country. Most cars that can receive a rapid charge today have a CCS socket.

However, the high power requirements of these vehicles mean that vehicle designers face unique technical challenges, especially when it comes to circuit protection. Littelfuse has seen designs using 32 V fuses for 600 V systems, and companies using industrial fuses because high-voltage automotive-qualified fuses aren’t available.

A lot of current and upcoming electric cars are in the 300-mile range. It might be in your neighborhood, but it's something that you will find along interstates or major travel routes. And that will get you to your destination with something like 25 or 30 percent of battery range remaining. So what are these ranges in real life?

What if going wireless enabled you to prolong the life of your batteries, to achieve the same range with a smaller battery pack, and to charge the same number of vehicles with fewer charging stations? I’ve yet to see a single plug-in charger company talk about their grid-to-battery efficiency. We’re somewhere in the 90 to 92% range.

It eliminates waiting in lines or out of order machinery and gives you the benefit of your vehicles full range right from your doorstep. Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities.
