The proposed wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging system is
developed using the principle of resonant inductive coupling,
enabling energy transfer without physical connectors. The
system comprises two main units: a transmitter section and a
receiver section. The transmitter unit includes a coil powered
by lithium-ion batteries, which is controlled by an Arduino
Uno microcontroller through a relay module. When activated,
the coil generates an alternating magnetic field used to transfer
energy.
