I worked for an industrial division of a Japanese auto OEM for 23 years. The Japanese auto makers and their thousands of of suppliers are led by the JAMA (Japan Auto Manufacture Association). This organization is lead by Toyota. This leadership has proven very helpful over the decades as these auto makers dominated global auto and light truck sales. However, since Toyota has actively resisted the transition to BEVs, their leadership has greatly hindered all BEV development across all Japanese auto makers. I would not count the Japanese OEMs out completely. Due to their ability to focus whole industries on singular goals, I expect that they will pivot to BEV technology and quietly develop the component design and manufacturing capability in Japan and share their knowledge with each Japanese OEM to surprise the world with competitive BEVs in the next few years. Japan does not have the anti-trust laws like the West so they will work together to recover their place in the global market position. They will have their biggest business challenge since the post war era. Their whole economy depends on succeeding.

Just a few problems with in-road charging. To charge up a meaningful amount, you'd have to be over the road for an extended period of time. The huge problem is the amount of conducting wire needed. Maybe they could use aluminum but you still need a LOT. Next, you need inverters to run the high frequency AC. Running them continuously would be a waste of power, Maybe they could break it up into panels that turn on when a car passed overhead. How much would that all cost? Boggles the mind. Multiply by the mileage of roads in the country. Putting a small induction pad at a number of parking spots looks a lot cheaper and will catch on, as long as there's a standard configuration.

Thank you for the vid! The point with wireless charging, beyond what you mentioned, is your basic parking lot. With V2G a parking lot with 100 cars hooked in is a 7,500/kwh grid battery. A car dealership? Their EV inventory when hooked in will earn utility credits from the large battery created. This tech will help the utilities immeasurably as all of a sudden there will be tens of thousands of "parking lot batteries" as the BEV fleet grows. Wireless helps accelerate the transition.

Physics enters: 1) Wireless Charging will always be less efficient than a direct connection 2) Not mentioned is the required accuracy of centering to the charging coil on the ground. It is critical: even a 5" matching error can reduce the coupling (transfer / charging efficiency) by 50%! 3) Cost: There is a lot of copper wire in both coils of the "air transformer", obvious even with only the bottom floor unit is shown. Also not shown or discussed are the required electronic control boxes on both coils. 4) Weight: A coil and electronic controls with a rugged, non-metallic, weatherproof housing will weigh ~ 70 lbs on the car side. 5) Ground clearance about that of a small grapefruit (~5") will guaranty destruction of the car mounted coil in weeks. 6) The suggested use cases are totally unrealistic, considering the accuracy and spacing required to achieve even 1/4 the claimed coupling efficiency. Everybody who has investigated this concept has abandoned it, including BYD and Tesla, for example, because of the low efficiency, limitations and impracticality. The best cases which were developed were a flat cart or arm which would target, locate and position the coil concentric to the car's coil, and then raise it for close coupling. All quickly realized that if this was done, it was way better and more efficient to just replace the wireless coils with contacts. Several car companies have even developed, and shown, a robotic arm plug in the charging cable to a car's charging port (also deemed impractical and expensive). Several electric city busses use semi-automated connections for charging, but since they have absolute control of where and how, it's feasible and effective. ORNL is a propitious place where propeller heads spend years burning government money for little results. A.K.A. "Your Tax Dollars at Work"

Tesla has not abandoned wireless charging. Implementation is forthcoming and will be crucial for robotaxi operations. They have already hinted at implementation with the upcoming Model S.

Alignment is easily automated using existing hardware which exists today in products by Tesla and other automakers. -Producer Tim
@@MissGoElectric When you post a photo of one in your home and a 2 paragraph performance review, I'll consider listening. The BS from rumor mongers like Electrek and Teslarati aren't credible. All "wishing and hoping" and "tea leaf reading" innuendo. Overnight trickle charging... maybe; but anything remotely implied and stated here is all fantasy. The fact that you mention a "5% efficiency reduction" is a demonstration of wishful thinking and ignorance. That figure is the theoretical, lab perfect, alignment of the prototype experimental devices tested. I have designed and built "wireless" power systems and chargers and can tell you that unless there is a precision placing mechanism / alignment template and almost contact (i.e. 66% losses. The positioning of the two inductors (and associated iron / ferrite "focusing" pole pieces) produces a highly logarithmic transfer function. I hope you know that all the wireless phone and watch chargers in use are less than 50% efficient (i.e. power in vs power delivered to the battery) and they are quite finicky about the co-location of the device and distance from it, regardless of the theoretical BS marketing claims. And these are typically delivering between 2 and 7 watts of power, not hundreds of kilowatts! Tesla has also announced, demonstrated, with great fanfare and live coverage, an automatic battery swapping station. Everybody got really excited, to the point of forming companies to make chains of "Battery Swap Stations" all over. Where are they now??? As for the "readily available" automated solutions you mention, are you implying that the hundreds and hundreds of robotic welding and assembly arms Tesla decommissioned by using a GigaCastings instead are coming to a carport near you??? A much simpler, useful and practical solution is to put a connector in the nose of a car, and drive it to mate with spring loaded connector on a wall or bracket. Nobody is abandoning ICE vehicles because they have to open the lid, insert a hose to the gas inlet, and squeeze the lever. Lunacy!

I don’t see the point of wireless charging. Might be an add on option if people want but for the 5 seconds it takes me to plug in my EV I’d rather not have more crap on my car. Need to make EV’s simpler with less fuss and useless onboard tech.

Time is only one metric. Copper cables and connectors are frequently stolen, vandalized, or inadvertantly damaged. DC fast charging cable thermal management can be a problem. Individuals with disabilities and areas parking spaces will benefit from a cable free process. Autonomous vehicles will be able to park and charge without human intervention. This is huge for rental fleets and robotaxi services of course. Regular people who have their self driving vehicles drop them at the airport then return home alone will benefit. Wireless charging will unlock many unforeseen opportunities. -Producer Tim

@@MissGoElectric I agree for certain applications it has great potential. Like you said self driving cars, people with handicaps(assuming again self drive) but I don’t think it will ever become the norm for most people. It’s not as efficient and would add extra costs. But it does have its place.

Laughable asserting Model 3 is in the luxury EV class. The propaganda continues.
@MissGoElectricАй бұрын
The Tesla Model 3 is a*premium* segment vehicle. If you have driven the new version which launched a few months ago, you'll recognize that it outperforms luxury vehicles of the same size by many metrics. The charging network and buying process are also reasons why Tesla has already taken significant market share from BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus. -Producer Tim

@@MissGoElectric The ONLY reason anyone mistook a 3 or Y as premium was because of the premium price. Now it’s just lazy journalists and fanbois carrying Musk’s water.

You are working with obsolete information. Those researching will find the new Model 3 leads luxury competitors in most our all of these categories: Cabin quietude Efficiency Infotainment system capability+ease Speed Range Stereo system Comfort of Heated+cooled seats Charging convenience Service experience Materials quality (see for yourself) Value (M3 is now only $30k for many buyers) Cache/clout (younger buyers see Tesla, Mercedes,BMW as equally prestigious) Your personal feelings about a brand do not impact the measurable realities verifiable by all of us. -Producer Tim

@@MissGoElectric Spoken like a true fanboi. A few of your bullets are valid, the rest are laughable in the real world. Oh and you missed the snapped control arms, horrendous fit and finish, and phantom braking at highway speeds. Aside from asserting pleather, plastics, and no human controls are luxurious. PS, spied and range are not qualities of luxury, and I won’t even get into the bs that Tesla published range is.

We are advocates of excellent EV technology. Miss GoElectric drives a Rivian, not a Tesla. Your bias AGAINST Tesla has already yielded a great deal of misinformation. Our allegiance is to truth, not to a particular brand. Our information is current. Certain HW versions of Tesla vehicles had phantom braking for a time, but that was resolved via software last year to the extent that Tesla is no more likely to phantom brake than other ADAS systems. If you think the fit and finish of the new Tesla Model 3 is poor, then you surely have not seen one in person. Today's leading EV manufacturers are not standing still. They are progressing on all fronts and old information is quickly obsolete. Freedom is a luxury. Extended range is freedom. Stopping and paying for a charge is not luxurious. Any EV driver would rather have MORE range than LESS range. Are you aware that the EPA revised methodology for range estimates and Tesla adheres to the new standards? Owners of today's Tesla EVs return range which is as close to advertised range as competitors. -Producer Tim

...or disabled, or in a confined space, or absent because the vehicle is fully autonomous. When one adopts an open worldview and considers the ramifications of new technologies, one recognizes the value of possible futures. Narrow mindedness is not a characteristic exhibited by the most admirable among us. Another consideration: Most automobiles on earth today cannot be plugged into a power outlet. Those 900 million drivers are surely not all "lazy". -Producer Tim
