Techno-Economic Aspects of the Wireless EV Charging System

ABSTRACT

Electric Vehicles (EVs) have become prominent on our roadways. They are cost-effective, save our precious time and create a pollution-free environment. High efficiency inductive wireless charging systems for electric vehicles (EVs) have proved convenient and user friendly compared to their wired charging counterparts. Wireless EVs (WEVs) are unusual in most countries due to the associated techno-economic problems. Hence, it becomes essential to study in detail about the same before deploying a WEV charging infrastructure. This paper examines the economic aspects of wireless charging systems (WCS) for EVs. The impacts of the COVID-19 and real-estate availability for constructing and commissioning various (WCS) are discussed. Additionally, the cost involved in converters/ inverters, coils, battery for WCS are enumerated.
