- <p>This research paper explores a novel approach to electric vehicle (EV) charging using Wireless Power<br>Transfer (WPT) based on Resonant Inductive Coupling (RIC). Traditional EV charging systems<br>require physical connectors, which can be inconvenient, prone to mechanical wear, and unsuitable for<br>automated or weather-exposed environments. In contrast, RIC enables efficient, contactless energy<br>transfer between a transmitter coil embedded in the charging station and a receiver coil within the EV,<br>using magnetic resonance at a common frequency.<br>The study delves into the theoretical principles of RIC, outlines the complete system architecture, and<br>discusses key hardware components such as inverters, resonant coils, ferrite plates, and control circuitry.<br>A prototype design was simulated using MATLAB/Simulink, demonstrating high power transfer<br>efficiency (up to ~89%) at a distance of 10 cm, making it suitable for Level 2 urban charging<br>applications.<br>In addition to simulation, a case study of an urban parking lot deployment illustrates practical<br>considerations such as alignment, safety shielding, and user interaction. The results suggest that with<br>proper tuning and design optimization, RIC-based WPT systems can serve as a scalable and user-friendly<br>alternative to plug-in charging. The paper concludes by highlighting the future scope of dynamic<br>charging, integration with smart infrastructure, and standardization efforts. </p>
