Unlike conventional inductive wireless charging systems that rely on ground-based transmitter pads positioned beneath a vehicle, the QKOIL® EV charging system utilizes an above-the-vehicle inductive coupling architecture. Power is transferred magnetically from an elevated transmitting assembly to a vehicle-mounted receiving coil, which may be positioned on an exterior surface of the vehicle or located just beneath a vehicle panel, such as the hood or roof. The receiving coil is in electrical communication with the vehicle’s battery management system (BMS), enabling controlled delivery of power for charging the vehicle’s battery in accordance with battery state, safety limits, and charging protocols.
By relocating the transmitting hardware above the vehicle, the QKOIL system eliminates surface-level obstructions, reduces environmental exposure, and removes the need for precise vehicle positioning or manual alignment. This architecture supports automated charging workflows and is well-suited for electric vehicle fleets, autonomous vehicles, and autonomous mobile robots, where repeatable, hands-free operation and infrastructure safety are critical.
