Abstract
The widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) hinges on the development of efficient, convenient, and scalable charging solutions. Traditional plug-in charging systems, although widely used, present challenges such as slower charging times, wear on connectors, and reliance on fixed infrastructure. Wireless charging, employing inductive power transfer (IPT), presents a promising alternative by eliminating physical connectors and facilitating more flexible charging solutions. This paper provides an in-depth review of recent advancements in wireless charging technologies for EVs, focusing on key innovations, system efficiency, infrastructure integration, and performance metrics. In particular, it highlights the development of dynamic wireless charging systems, improvements in power transfer capabilities, automated vehicle alignment, and the potential integration with smart grids. The paper also discusses the primary barriers to adoption, such as high costs, standardization issues, and safety concerns, while identifying future research directions to overcome these obstacles.
