Electric car segment is just trying to get back on the path of battery connector types unification . Each group of manufacturers promoting its standard connectors may vary depending on the type of current and the charging rate for each region is given priority to the development of infrastructure of some specific standards.
Nevertheless, the experts serving the interests of the US Department of Energy National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, in collaboration with a number of partners have developed a prototype of charging station, allowing wirelessly transmit up to 20 kW of power with an efficiency of at least 90%. In the future, the developers hope to increase the limit of the transmit power up to 50 kW, as well as to realize the electric charging on the move .
Toyota has provided for experiments multiple instances electric crossover RAV4, which have long been available for the US market. They were equipped with receiving "equipment", developed from scratch, as well as extra traction battery capacity of 10 kW � h. In addition, the wireless charging technology has been on the run-in rechargeable hybrid version of the Toyota Prius . As you can see on the picture, at the bottom of the receiving electric circuit is located close enough to
the ground.
Developers argue that safety is given the highest priority. Electromagnetic radiation is concentrated in a region that is involved in the process of charging and abroad does not exceed the permissible sanitary norms. Advanced software algorithms not only enhance the safety of such charging stations, but also make their operation more efficient. Related Products :
