Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, wireless power transfer has emerged as a critical enabling technology for electric vehicle charging. However, a number of these systems' shortcomings still need to be addressed, including their inefficiency, operating range, electromagnetic field emissions, and infrastructure costs, to name a few. This Special Issue aims to disseminate the most recent theoretical and practical research findings on wireless power transfer related to electric car charging, ideally emphasizing the most recent SAE-2954 standard. The following technical domains are among the subjects of interest but are not the only ones: Wireless power transfer topologies for charging electric vehicles (inductive, capacitive, etc.). For this Special Issue of Vehicles titled “Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging,” " subjects covered include but are not limited to vehicle-to-grid (V2G), control algorithms, efficiency optimization, navigation and alignment systems, magnetic resonant wireless charging, capacitive wireless charging.
