Wireless electric car chargers to be installed on UK streets
A Litt • 12 January 2020
British drivers could soon be able to charge their electric cars wirelessly at the roadside.
Trials are about to begin around the country of new induction charging pads that do away with the need for EVs to be plugged into a charger.
The systems are to be trialled on residential streets, car parks and taxi ranks in Greater London, the Midlands and Scotland by charging infrastructure firm Connect Kerb.
The company says the system could pave the way for simpler, more convenient charging and reduce roadside clutter.
The technology works in the same way as a wireless mobile phone charger but on a far larger scale. A charging pad is sunk into the ground and emits an alternating electromagnetic field. Cars fitted with a suitable “receiving” unit can then park on top of the pad and use it to generate a current that will charge the battery.
Connected Kerb chief executive Chris Pateman-Jones told the Daily Mail: “Vehicle manufacturers are increasingly including induction charging technology in their new models but at present there are only a handful of induction-enabled electric vehicle charge points. We aim to change that.
“Induction charging will become the norm over the coming few years, and for good reason: It's comparable in performance to traditional charging, however, it's more convenient and even more simple.”
