WHAT IS ELECTRIC VEHICLE ?

An electric vehicle (EV) uses one or more electric motors for propulsion.

An electric vehicle may be powered through a collector system by electricity from off- 
vehicle sources, or may be self-contained with a battery or generator to convert fuel to 
electricity.

EVs include road and rail vehicles, surface and underwater vessels, electric aircraft and 
electric spacecraft.

TECHNOLOGIES
 Wireless  charging  uses  an 
electromagnetic  field  to 
transfer  energy  between  two 
objects through electromagnetic
induction.

WIRELESS Energy  is  sent  through  an 

inductive  coupling  to an 
electrical device, which  can then
use that  energy to charge
CHARGING batteries or run the device.
 HISTORY OF WIRELESS

POWER TRANSIMISSION

In 1901, Nikola Tesla was able to transfer energy from

one coil to another coil wirelessly.
187 feet tall tower to broadcast energy
He managed to light 200 lamps from a distance  of
40km.
Due to shortage of funds, tower did not operate.
The idea of Tesla is taken in to research after  100 years
by a team led by Marin Soljačić from  MIT. The project is
named as ‘WiTricity’.
 Specifically, the technology works by generating

WORKING 20kHz frequencies into an electromagnetic field by a

power inverter which are embedded.

MECHANISM Wireless charging Electric Vehicles are built with an

on-board pick up device that allows an electric vehicle

to be powered by an underground power line while

driving.

This allows the vehicle to carry 4/5 less battery

capacity or weight, because it only requires a small

battery for minimal operations off the power grid.
