This project aims to develop a wireless electric vehicle charging system with over 85% efficiency, 6.6 kW power transfer, and large positioning tolerance within EMI regulations. The system design is 10% complete. Milestones include prototype testing and integrating the system into an electric vehicle by 2014. The collaborators expect to address barriers to wireless charging and demonstrate a commercially viable design.
This project aims to develop a wireless electric vehicle charging system with high efficiency (>85%), high power transfer (over 6.6 kW), and good position tolerance. The system achieved power transfer of 6.6 kW with 85% efficiency at a 20 cm coil gap in initial testing. Future work will reduce the coil size and increase power transfer capability to 19.2 kW while maintaining performance. Validation through building and testing 5 electric vehicles integrated with the wireless charging system is also planned.
The document discusses Hy-wire technology, which uses a fuel cell instead of an internal combustion engine and drive-by-wire instead of mechanical linkages. A proton exchange membrane fuel cell powers the Hy-wire car by converting hydrogen and oxygen to electricity. The fuel cell stack provides over 90 kilowatts of power. An X-drive controller allows the driver to control speed, steering, and braking electronically. While offering benefits like efficiency and low emissions, challenges remain regarding hydrogen storage, safety, and cost before Hy-wire vehicles can be mass produced.
Electric Vehicles (EV) use a battery to store the electric energy that powers the motor. EV batteries are charged by plugging the vehicle into an electric power source. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and all-electric vehicles (EVs)—also called electric drive vehicles collectively—use electricity either as their primary fuel or to improve the efficiency of conventional vehicle designs.
Reduced fuel consumption and emissions, optimized fuel efficiency and performance, lower operational cost, rising conventional fuel costs are some factors that make use of EVs advantageous. However, tech and other challenges are in front of EVs to make them popular selling asset among masses. High EV price limit the current customer group to consist of primarily tech savvy and environmental ideologists, however, new research indicates that charging time and driving range are most influencing the purchase decision. Due to scale of production and technological development, it seems likely that there will be significant price erosion related to EV batteries over the next 10 years. This will most likely influence EV prices and increase sales.
Moreover, along with the gradual emergence of EVs- innovators and entrepreneurs are introducing new and visionary business models. Incidentally, EVs are sold on subscription- and rental companies are beginning to include EVs as part of their fleet of program. For example, as integrators or mobility service providers, the EV value chain creates opportunities for newcomers to participate and create value on mobility market. The integrators are the future industry actors, who will handle the integration between EV charging and intelligent home billing etc. Reportedly, ECOtality partnered Sprint Nextel and Cisco to deliver wireless connectivity for charging stations and home energy management solutions/controllers.
This report aims to highlight the drivers and inhibitors that influence the roll-out of electric cars in terms of adoption speed, cost and user acceptance. The report is largely based on the general market data, which has been analysed and correlated with the data from fleet test of electric vehicles which was conducted in and around the metropolitan area of Copenhagen (Denmark). The report also explores an analysis of comparative advantages of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles over EVs.

Deloitte new roads to value creation-jan19Roger Atkins
This document summarizes key findings from the 2019 Deloitte Global Automotive Consumer Study regarding consumers' views and willingness to adopt various emerging automotive technologies. The study found that while interest in electric vehicles is growing, adoption may differ globally depending on factors like fuel prices and policy support. Consumer perceptions of autonomous vehicle safety have stalled due to high-profile accidents, and most want stronger government regulation of the technology. Interest in connectivity is high but consumers are wary of data collection and most are unwilling to pay significant premiums. Overall, transforming mobility on a large scale may be challenging as consumer behavior can be difficult to change.

Beuc2016 low carbon cars in the 2020s reportRoger Atkins
This document discusses the total cost of ownership of low and ultra-low emission vehicles in Europe between 2015-2030. It forecasts changes in costs and efficiency of conventional and alternative powertrains, and calculates TCO for first, second and third owners over the vehicle lifetime. The analysis finds that plug-in electric vehicles show highly competitive ownership costs compared to internal combustion engines, with battery electric vehicles reaching near parity with diesel vehicles for first owners by 2030. Continued improvement in the efficiency of conventional vehicles also provides benefits to consumers in reduced fuel costs. Ambitious 2025/2030 CO2 targets can be set without disadvantaging consumers based on the declining TCOs across all powertrains.
