The popularity of this technology is surging in the EV industry, as it is being explored in order to replace the conventional method of charging the vehicle by connecting it to a power source with the help of a cord. Moreover, this charging technology is being incorporated in electric vehicles for reducing the requirement for human involvement. Several international organizations, such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), International Electro Technical Commission (IEC), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) are focusing on introducing standards for improving the efficiency and safety of wireless EV charging systems.
Depending on technology, the wireless charging market is divided into radio frequency, magnetic resonance, and inductive categories. Out of these, the inductive category contributed the highest revenue to the market in the years gone by. This was because of the fact that an inductive coupling can easily transmit 30–60% of the power. Moreover, inductive coupling is adopted in handheld devices, such as tablets, smartphones, ear pods, smartwatches, and laptops.
