Abstract

One of the main barriers to the development of electromobility is the inadequate network of vehicle charging points. On the other hand, despite the considerable costs of this technology, the development of technology for wireless charging of electric vehicles in motion is being observed. The article proposes the use of a roundabout area for wireless charging of electric vehicles using the fact that vehicles in the area of roundabouts are moving at low speed. The article presents three variants of the location of inductive charging devices in the area of roundabouts, having regard to the advantages and disadvantages of each solution.
