Abstract
Various systems are provided for charging electric vehicles. The systems may include a power transformation module in electrical communication with a power supply, any number of charge nodes in electrical communication with the power transformation module via one or more power distribution lines, and any number of charge transfer devices, each in electrical communication with a power system of an electric vehicle. A charge node of a charge pad may be connected to a contact pad of a charge transfer device to transfer power from the charge node, through the charge transfer device, to the vehicle power system to thereby charge the vehicle.
Claims20
A charging system for electric vehicles comprising:
- a charge transfer device in electrical communication with a power system of an electric vehicle, the charge transfer device comprising a conductor;
- a power transformation module in electrical communication with a power supply, the power transformation module adapted to transform an electrical output received from the power supply;
- and
- a charge node in electrical communication with the power transformation module via one or more power distribution lines, the charge node comprising a conductive charge pad powered by the power transformation module,
- wherein the charge pad is configured to activate only in the presence of the conductor of the charge transfer device, thereby causing the charge transfer device to transmit a conditioned electrical output to the power system of the electric vehicle.
