IoT-Based Wireless Power Transfer for Charging Electric Vehicle

Abstract: In the current scenario, we are facing issues due to the rising prices of fuel hence encouraging the use of electrical vehicles. A very small portion of the population is willing to buy an electric vehicle, among this population, few are hesitant due to the lack of charging infrastructure. Even though there are charging stations people need to spend most of their time waiting for charging their vehicles. A wireless power transfer system offers an efficient and flexible means for charging electric vehicles. Hence, we have come up with the idea of implementing a wireless charging system for an electric vehicle. Wireless power transfer is achieved through inductive coupling between the transmitter and receiver coil. The transmitter coils are induced underneath the road and the receiver coils are installed in the electric vehicles. This project can open up new possibilities for wireless charging that can be used in our day-to-day life.
