Abstract
The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is a pivotal step towards sustainable and eco-
friendly transportation. In this context, wireless power transmission (WPT) technology
presents an innovative solution to enhance the convenience and efficiency of EV
charging. This research investigates the multi-faceted aspects of WPT in electric
vehicles, focusing on key areas of interest.

Efficiency and optimization of WPT systems are examined to address еnеrgy losses
during charging. The study explores the safety and health implications of prolonged
exposure to electromagnetic field’s (EMF) from wireless charging, with the aim of
establishing safety standards. Economic viability and cost-benefit analyses are
conducted to assess the financial feasibility of deploying WPT infrastructure.
Additionally, the study investigates the scalability of WPT systems, including the
extension of charging rang and the potential for dynamic charging while driving.

environmental sustainability is another core focus, with research aimed at valuating the
overall environmental impact of manufacturing, operating, and disposing of WPT
systems. User acceptance and behaviour patterns are analysed to understand the factors
influencing consumer adoption and to develop strategies for user education and
promotion. Additionally, the study examines regulatory and policy frameworks to foster
the safe and effective integration of WPT technology into the electric vehicle ecosystem.

Introduction
The advent of electric vehicles (EVs) has marked a significant shift in the automotive
industry towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation. As the
global demand for electric vehicles continues to grow, so does the nееd for innovative
technologies to enhance their convenience and efficiency. On such technology that has
gained considerable attention is wireless power transmission, which has the potential to
revolutionize the way we charge and maintain electric vehicles.

Traditional charging methods for EVs involve physical connectors and charging cables,
which require drivers to plug in their vehicles at designated charging stations. While
these methods are effective, they do present limitations such as the nееd for
infrastructure development and the inconvenience of physically connecting and
disconnecting the charging equipment. Wireless power transmission offers a promising
solution to these challenges, paving the way for a more seamless and efficient electric
vehicle charging experience.

Wireless power transmission, also known as wireless charging or inductive charging, is

a method that allows electric vehicles to charge their batteries without the nееd for
physical connections. Instead, it relies on electromagnetic fields to transfer electrical
еnеrgy from a charging station to the vehicle’s battery. This technology offers several
key advantages, including greater convenience for EV owners, reduced war and tar on
vehicle components, and the potential for autonomous or dynamic charging, where
vehicles can charge while in motion.

In this ara of electric mobility, wireless power transmission represents a crucial step
forward in making EVs more practical, user-friendly, and sustainable. This introduction
explores the fundamentals and benefits of wireless power transmission in electric
vehicles, delving into the technologies involved and the potential implications for the
future of transportation.
