Session Description

Interest in electric vehicles has been increasing in recent years as a result of dependency on foreign fuels, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and improved vehicle fuel efficiencies. Many and varied forms of charging have been conceptualized from battery swapping to charging stations, to wireless power transfer (WPT). WPT has significant advantages over other charging concepts. It can significantly reduce the weight of a vehicle because fuel does not have to be transported, does not require charging times, and used in conjunction with dedicated lanes, could offer opportunities for high speed and efficient automated control.
