Pinwan, September 20, according to Aijiwei, Japanese construction group Obayashi Group and auto parts supplier Denso have begun testing wireless charging road surfaces designed for electric vehicles.
The main application for this technology is currently driverless buses that operate 24/7. Wireless power could eliminate the need for large batteries and extend the range of electric vehicles, the report said. The technology uses magnetic field induction, and Toyota Motor subsidiary Denso is currently studying the performance of coils and power supplies. Other automakers in Europe are testing similar technology. Installing electrical coils under sidewalks can result in losses in power transmission, the technology is less efficient at charging electric vehicles than using wires, and can also be more expensive to build than conventional streets.
