Research and Markets: Induction Charging for Electric Vehicles - Practicalities, Technology and Issues Explored

DUBLIN--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f6ba29/induction_charging) has announced the addition of the "Induction Charging for Electric Vehicles" report to their offering.

Induction Charging for Electric Vehicles takes the industrys pulse on the practicality, technology and issues associated with cable free charging of Electric Vehicles. It includes the views of key players, suppliers and OEMs and will be of value to all those involved in finding and delivering HEV and EV automotive solutions.

For example, cable connections are vulnerable both to vandalism and those having fun with charging stations in public places. Given the high voltages involved, the issue of safety comes to the fore. Then there is the issue that human nature will always push consumers towards the solution requiring the least effort. This is borne out by consumer research from Nissan which suggests that 61% of potential EV customers worry about the inconvenience of plugging in to recharge.

Consequently, there is a growing opinion in the industry that a cabled approach to EV charging may only be an interim solution which will eventually be overtaken by the convenience and safety of cable free or induction charging.
