Charging systems

An indicative list of EV static, stationary and dynamic wireless charging systems (inductive and conductive) that are currently in various research, development and deployment stages is included in the current section.

Static wireless

Large scale pre-commercial trials of the QUALCOMM HALO WEVC took place in London.

Large scale trials of EVATRAN Plugless™ L2 wireless charging system 15 installations across the US.

HEVO Power's wireless charging station in the form of a manhole cover will be tested in New York City. 

Tesla motors network of superchargers, allowing half charging within 20-minutes expands

Stationary wireless

Manholes cover charging in NYC HEVO Power, which is conducting a manhole pilot with New York University.

Brabant NL to deploy world’s first dynamic mobile charging. Starting in mid -2013 the demonstration project will use inductive charging to charge vehicles as they drive a special lane in the highway.

Shanghai Capabus: China is experimenting with a type of electric bus, known as Capabus, which runs by using power stored in large onboard electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) that are recharged whenever the vehicle stops at a bus stop.

Bombardier primove: high power inductive charging station to be used for stationary charging of buses in Germany.

Conductix-Wampfler (IPT Technology) electric buses charge wirelessly during brief stops. This system was tested for several years in Genoa and Turin.

Utah State University spin-off WAVE lunches electric buses with stationary wireless capability. This was tests in several US cities.

Dynamic wireless

New Zealand HaloIPT Induction Dynamic Charging: The HaloIPT system was bought by QUALCOMM and market-ready solutions for stationary inductive charging are currently in operation. In FABRIC research is being carried out to utilize the system for dynamic charging.

Korean On Line Electric Vehicle (OLEV), dynamic charging implementations of the system are already in use at South Korea.

E-quickie research vehicle that uses dynamic charging developed in Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences (HsKA).

Scania and Bombardier have as part of the Swedish national funded Slide-in project tested dynamic wireless power transfer.

Conductive dynamic charging

Volvo/Alstom Slide-in electric road system

Siemens eHighway dynamic charging for trucks

Elways system allows electric road vehicles to charge while driving.
