Volvo Car Group today announced it has successfully completed research or induction wireless charging for electric cars . In this way , charging for electric cars , no longer need to stop plugging stekker box at home or at public charging . The transfer of energy through electromagnetic field is considered very promising in the future .
induction wireless charging is safe
" Inductive charging potential . Wireless technology is a very fun and effective energy transfer . The study also shows , the safe way , "explains Lennart Stegland , Vice President , Electric Propulsion Systems , Volvo Car Group .
Added , this method can not be used as the standard for inductive charging . " We will continue to research and evaluate the possibility of this technology is also used in plug -in hybrids , " he continued .
How about Electromagnetic fields
Inductive charging uses an electromagnetic field as a replacement for cable - outlet - stekker to transfer energy between two objects . Induction coil creates an electromagnetic field which is under the car ( Langtai ) .
The second induction coil in the device that could be taken ( in the car ) took power from the magnetic field and converts it back into electrical energy to charge the battery . Technology is commonly used in home appliances , sepertgi toothbrush , but it has not been sold commercially for electric cars . Is in effect , the charging system also began intensively used for mobile phone , in the car .
" With the induction charging , you just put the car on top of the tool, charging will take place automatically . We believe , this is one way to make consumers accept electric cars , "said Lennard.
This research project carried out in full , including inductive charging for cars and buses were initiated by the Flanders ' Drive , the center of the automotive industry knowledge in the Flanders region in Belgium . Companies that do a research consortium , consisting of Volvo Car Group , Bombardier Transpsortation and karoseri maker Van Hool .
The project is partially funded by the governments of Belgium and the Netherlands ( Flemmish ) . Volvo C30 electric car just send to the motor that can generate power 89 kW ( 120 PS ) .
" The results of the test , C30 battery can be fully recharged in 2.5 hours . At the same time, we also researched and regular slow charging with Inverto , "concludes Lennart .
