Abstract

As non-renewable energy sources such as oil become increasingly scarce, the demand for countries to achieve carbon neutrality goals is also accelerating, and electric vehicles are gradually entering people's sights. How to achieve convenient, efficient, and safe wireless charging for electric vehicles has become a hot research topic. Therefore, this paper reviews the current research status of wireless charging for electric vehicles, organizes and summarizes the problems encountered in current research, including technical overviews and specific optimization directions of research hotspots such as magnetic coupling resonant wireless power transmission systems and millimeter-wave radar dynamic monitoring technology. It also summarizes relevant technical standards for wireless charging, such as GB/T. Through these studies, convenience can be effectively improved, the limitations of physical connections can be overcome, and energy structure transformation and grid optimization can be promoted, enhancing the safety and reliability of charging. At the same time, this paper also summarizes future research directions and proposes some new directions for researchers to explore, providing a theoretical basis and reference for subsequent research and application of wireless charging technology.
