Abstract

This article describes possible scenarios for wireless charged electric vehicles, as they are discussed within the UNPLUGGED project. It gives a brief introduction into wireless technology and explains the three possible implementation steps for charging electric vehicles: stationary, static en-route and dynamic en-route. Based on these scenarios the impact of wireless charging on future mobility, especially in urban environments is discussed.
