QKOIL™ Files New Patent Application for Decentralized Overhead Charging Architecture for Autonomous and Fleet Vehicles
At the core of this new invention is a pole-supported overhead charging assembly that can automatically detect an approaching vehicle registered with the system, dynamically align a power transmitter to a power receiver installed on/in the vehicle’s surface, and initiate charging, all without requiring precise vehicle navigation to align charging elements underneath an autonomous vehicle. The system can either be wireless based using aligned transmitting and receiving coils to achieve inductive wireless charging of an autonomous vehicle (AV) or wired using robotics to automatically plug into the AV for fast charging.
