Electric vehicles require fast, economical and reliable charging systems for efficient performance. Wireless charging systems remove the inconvenience to plug in the device to be charged when compared with the conventional wired charging systems. Moreover, wireless charging is considered to be environment and user friendly as the wires and mechanical connectors and related infrastructure are not required. This paper presents basic structure, operating principles and distinct features for wireless charging of EVs. First, the general techniques for wireless power transfer are described and explained. Next wireless charging systems for electric vehicles are classified and discussed in depth. Both the stationary and the dynamic wireless charging systems are discussed and reviewed. In addition, innovative and unique solution proposed is Dynamic Wireless Charging System. Dynamic charging systems seek to charge an EV while it is in service and is moving. It based on magnetic coupled resonant power transmission in which the transmitting coil of this charging system can selectively turn ON/OFF for charging vehicles while driving. Due to this energy is not wasted as transmission coil is energized when vehicle came in contact with receiver coil. The magnetic flux, a voltage is induced in the receiver coil when comes in line with transmitting coil. Control system functions of a wireless charging system of an electric vehicle. Findings of this state-of-the-art review are discussed and recommendations for future research are also provided.
