Electric Vehicle Owners Demanding Wireless Chargers in the US

With an increased focus on sustainability and the environment, electric vehicles are becoming hugely popular. Despite supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, EV vehicles sales in the US have been record-breaking in 2021, with 310,000 EVs sold in the first half of the year, which is close to the 2020 total of about 322,000 for the entire year. But keeping them energized will require the installation of tens of millions of charging stations, which will likely cost nearly USD50 billion by 2030, according to a study. US President Joe Biden has stated its goal for establishing 500,000 public electric vehicle chargers by 2030, passing a bipartisan USD7.5 billion bill to promote EV uptake and meet aggressive targets of air quality and climate goals. 

 

In a world where electric mobility depends on the effectiveness and convenience of charging solutions, wireless EV chargers serve as the perfect alternative to plug-in hybrids. The new wireless technology for EV charging follows the same principles found in the charging pads for phones, but it has a more advanced version with several differences as EV requires higher voltage and power transmission. The inductive technology allows EV owners to ditch the cable and provide the convenience for fast charging at home, work, or public charging stations. The first global standard for wireless electric-car charging (SAE J2954) announced by the SAE International (formerly known as Society of Automotive Engineers) applies to inductive charging systems up to 11 kilowatts.
