Exercise is one of the largest problems with an electric car. Indeed, compared to gasoline models, which can be refueled in less than five minutes, it is often necessary to wait several hours for the battery of an electric car to be fully charged. This situation can cause disappointment for those who are used to the speed of refueling a car with an internal combustion engine. Though some electric vehicles have large capacity batteries allow fast charging, these models are very expensive. Therefore, they remain niche. Most users have to settle for longer and more tiring medium power chargers. There is also the problem of the cables that are needed store and process. Which not always compatible with all available terminals. Additional logistics for everyday use!

Like a mobile phone

for solve the problem of charging cablesthe British company is currently working on the development wireless chargers. The principle is similar to the induction chargers that are commonly used to charge our mobile phones. simply place the vehicle on a surface equipped with coils that will automatically supply power when the vehicle’s battery is nearby. This innovation could be used while driving. Covering roads or highways with this technology to recharge the car while traveling. This will significantly reduce your power consumption while driving, and you won’t have to worry about charging cables anymore.

Already a promising pilot project

Project ” Wireless charging of electric taxis funded by the British government, wants to democratize this principle of wireless charging. LEVC (a company that develops London taxis) and Nissan answered the call. provision of each four models for the experiment. The system makes it possible to charge several cars at the same time. Therefore, taxis can be charged, for example, when they are waiting for customers. The pilot test phase showed that this system has an efficiency of about 90%, but with a charging power is limited to 10 kW. So the recharge is effective but may take some time. Up to 5 hours for a full charge! However, it is difficult to imagine the democratization of this process for individuals. For professionals like Taxithem delivery driverswhere medical vehicles, this project is very promising!
