    The ideal use of wireless charging is mass transport like buses and rail where vehicles/locomotives stop in designated places regularly. It will allow smaller, lighter batteries giving improved efficiency and lower cost. It woul also be useful for local delivery vehicles and taxis that might retun to the depot/rank a number of time in a day

    Speaking of EV charge stations, if you have charging stations networked and talking to each other, they could optimize multi vehicle charging prioritisation. These charge stations could then advise drivers in their cars, based on their current charge and vehicle range, where the next charging stations are located along their journey to complete their charge. This could help avoid bottle necks at charging stations and allow vehicles with a lower charge state faster access to the charging station, so they can complete their journey as soon as possible. If that makes sense. Thus if say there are two vehicles with one waiting and the one that's charging has been charged sufficiently, it could limit the charge time for that vehicle and advise it to move on, so that the vehicle behind it in a lower state of charge, can be recharged sooner to the required level to allow it to complete its journey allowing enough range for alternate charge station visits along their route also.

    I've mentioned it on this, as well as other channels that we should never have to exit our vehicle to charge it, especially in public places where safety can be an issue. The only problem I see with in-road charging is that in the United States road repair is a multi-billion dollar business so there is no incentive for contractors to actually make streets and highways to last for more than a few years which is why our infrastructure is in shambles.

    🔌🔌As a recently retired Cummins Power Generation Engineer from Mpls the last project I worked on with a consultant out of Boise was for a 500kW wireless test site to charge buses and service vehicles in Oregon. The downside of the project was the utility to support 500kW peak power at specific locations. They ended up paralleling a Tier 4 diesel generator at one location. The same issue occurred with Nxu's 4.5MW chargers in Arizona. They rented portable generators to meet demand at their facility Typically the lack of power from the utility generation facilities is not the issue. Instead, it is the lack of xfmr and wiring at the location where the source is required.🔌🔌

Today Phoenix issued another pollution warning due to NOx, and PM, not CO2. That makes eight warnings for MTD. When Portland Utility updates their xfmr in four years at that charging site they planned to use the generator as an emergency standby genset. Tier 4 gensets cost twice the price as T2 gensets.

    I'm dubious about putting them in roads, but these speeds could revolutionize commercial charging stations. They would look more like drive-thrus or toll booths than gas pumps, with no need to leave the vehicle. In fact, these could be incorporated into drive-thrus--order a charge with your meal. Or into convenience store parking spaces. Another layer of profit for the business, without failure-prone moving parts or above-ground components.

    Sounds impractical for roadways but fine for dedicated parking spaces. You have to realize that a huge many megawatt backbone would be required for multiple cars being charged at the same time in stopped traffic. You also have to consider the people having problems with high current radiation, like they are considering cellphones. Practical charging requires high radiating AC currents at frequencies in the 50kHz to 1 MHz range. You would also be lucky to get >75% efficiency. We use wires for a reason since they are 95-98% efficient.

    I think any solution that can reduce battery capacities is interesting. I dont think fast dc charging will be replaced by wireless because if you drive to a place specifically to charge your ev in rhe quickest way possible , you wil prefer to take a few seconds to plug it and make sure you have the best charging speed, efficiency, and cost. But wireless charging is interesting for ev owners wirh no garage using street parking. building a charger at every parking space require a big amount of construction and means a lot of sidewalk real easte taken by chargers and cables. whereas installing wireless chargers under the pavement could be done anywhere there is street parking with no impact on the sidewalks. streets get redone on a regular basis so it could be done at the same time as scheduled maintenance. level 2 is sufficient. you could just park, the car is charged and parking fee + charging can be applied automatically.

    Wireless charging is something that would be very useful in a home garage. I like the concept. Unfortunately, if you follow the stock market then you know that Ideanomics/Wave(IDEX) is not doing well in terms of stock pricing. It has undergone a 1:125 reverse split ( 8/25/23) and the stock is still under $1/share. I intended to invest in the company based on its potential but with a reverse split particularly of that magnitude, I decides against it. At the time prior to the split, it appeared the IDEX was the best of the Inductive(Wireless) charging companies I knew something about. Witricity might be the best one now but I still like IDEX for some unknown reason. I still might throw a few dollars into the IDEX slot machine at the Wall Street Casino. If IDEX goes belly up, then I will only be out the equivalent of a few cups of Starbucks coffees.

    Commercial (service company) installations are worth considering for this tech.

    Wireless charging is the missing component for fully autonomous vehicles. For some time trucks will need humans to manage the loading so while they are sat there they can be plugged in. At home too you can just plug it in. It's robotaxis operating all day with no interaction with human assistants/owners and only customers that need it most. Having them at taxi ranks where they sit for a while makes most sense for that. There and parking lots for private cars so that the infrastructure isn't taking up space.

      People keep banging on about EV weight, yet the most popular current ICE vehicles are generally heavier than EVs, where I live anyway. The roads will be just fine. Plus as EV's continue to evolve they will become lighter anyway. Batteries, just as one example, with become more energy dense meaning the packs can be smaller for a comparative range. But the EV is also redefining vehicle manufacturing techniques and philosophy and it is still early days in their development. Changes and progress are coming at an ever accelerating rate at this time.

      Hello Mr Jamie-ck6js, any thoughts on what is happening around the world:
      "Global EV sales up 12% in March, down 9% in Europe, Rho Motion says"
      9% down still means an increase in the number of EVs on the road. If in January they sell 100 EVs, then in March they only sell 91 EVs that means there are now 191 EVs on the road. People are also seeing EV prices dropping and are waiting for new models and better value.
      With the EU aren't banning petrol and diesel vehicles, they are banning the sale of NEW petrol and diesel vehicles. There will be a very strong second hand market. People will be able to buy cars up to the end of 2034, and second hand from 2035. So ICEs will still be around until 2050.

    Wireless is always less efficient than wired charging, so an extra nuclear plant may be required even in the less populous countries. 10% extra charging loss in Finland (5.5 million inhabitants) would mean 4.5 TWh of new electricity production needed just to cover it, if the traffic is fully electric and wirelessly charged. That is about ⅔ of a small NPP's or ⅓ of a big NPP's yearly production. Not to mention extra copper coil, etc. that has to be built into the vehicles and driven around, too.
    So, no.

    Depending on the battery configuration, they could wireless charge even faster than 15 minutes or charge at the same rate using less power, by using a quadruple line charge controller for a 4 battery configuration layout. Say 4 x 20 kW batteries. Obviously the charge controller would need to be robust enough, however you could use 4 coils and 4 charge controllers for 4 batteries to maximise charging speeds and efficiency. Thus the 4 batteries are wirelessly charging in parallel. Super fast !!! Super safe !!! Each battery pack gets you say 70 miles of range, thus totalling 280 miles of range. Because you can charge super fast, range becomes less important. A battery management system would optimise the use of the batteries and charging regime based on an optimisation algorithm, linked to the driving requirements and charging patterns.

    • @JoeyBlogs007
      @JoeyBlogs007 Месяц назад +1

      By distributing the charging load across multiple batteries, you can potentially mitigate the effects of internal resistance and maintain higher charging speeds compared to charging a single 80 kW battery. This is because the overall charging process is distributed among multiple batteries, allowing each battery to charge at its optimal rate and minimizing the impact of internal resistance on the overall charging efficiency.

    • @JoeyBlogs007
      @JoeyBlogs007 Месяц назад

      Thus a 4 battery pack configuration could make 5 minute charging to 80% well within reach.

    • @JoeyBlogs007
      @JoeyBlogs007 Месяц назад

      Most drivers on most trips don't drive more than say an average of 40 miles per day. Thus one of the four 20kW battery packs could comfortably cover that distance and thus be run down from 80% ( 56 miles ) to 10% ( 7 miles ) approx.. SOC ( state of charge) being the optimal charge range for certain common battery chemistries. i.e. assuming a range of 70 miles per battery pack. This usage pattern allows drivers to make the most efficient use of the battery capacity while minimizing stress on the battery cells. All this, whilst retaining super fast charging in a safer and more efficient way than charging one 80 kW battery in the same amount of time.

      Could you not have, say, 8 batteries, with 4 installed for normal weekday trips (at the center of the car) & adding 4 for longer trips (2 on each side of the 4 central packs)?

    • @JoeyBlogs007
      @JoeyBlogs007 Месяц назад +1

      Not sure about viability of 8 battery packs. Some manufacturers have used varied chemistries in multiple battery packs for the scenario you suggested. I would say if you can have two batteries packs, then you could have more than two, however there would be a point of diminishing returns. Much would depend on driving and charging habits and requirements. Obviously they make products based on average Joe usage patterns. The average Joe for example in the USA drives 40 miles per day.

    Of course the biggest problem will be getting charged for the power, rather than just recharging from the solar on one's own roof.
