Review of wireless charging technologies for electric vehicles

This paper aims to review current wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies on electric vehicle charging. Basic principles of the technologies, including capacitive, electromagnetic field and magnetic gear, are elaborated. Advantages and limitations of each technology for EV charging are discussed. The latest development, key technical issues, challenges and state-of-art researches are introduced.
