A 120 kW wireless charging system for electric vehicles (EV) has been demonstrated by researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee. The system, which is being developed with a team of ORNL researchers, uses an array of 60 high-power solar panels to charge up batteries that are placed on top of the vehicle. After the electricity is transferred to a second coil, it is converted back to direct current and stored in the vehicle battery pack. After the electricity is transferred to a second coil, it is converted back to DC and stored in the EV battery pack. ORNL researchers said eventually they want to create a wireless charging system that can deliver a 350 kW charge and be embedded into roads.
