Parking support for inductive charging

• Inductive charging could give electric vehicles yet another competitive advantage over fossil-drivenvehicles in that users seldom or never have to think about refueling. However, when about to recharge thevehicle, the secondary, receiver coil must be precisely positioned above the primary, transmitter coil inorder to achieve high transmitted power and efficiency. Manually maneuvering a vehicle to this positionhas in our studies proven to be a challenging task, especially when using tight or public parking spaces.This article investigates the parking precision challenges connected with induction charging along withpossible solutions, including fully automated parking.
