EV Charging System, LLC Collaborates with NMSU Engineering Students on QKOIL Wireless EV Charging Technology

EV Charging System, LLC recently teamed up with a talented group of engineering students from New Mexico State University (NMSU) for an innovative Capstone Project. Together, research was undertaken regarding the Overhead Inductive Wireless Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging System, or QKOIL. This cutting-edge system aims to revolutionize how we charge electric vehicles.

The NMSU Capstone team was challenged to create a proof-of-concept for a wireless electric vehicle charging system featuring x-y-z direction alignment. This system is designed to charge variously sized electric vehicles at multiple locations efficiently. Their research focused on developing a robust gantry system capable of wirelessly identifying, locating, and adapting to different electric vehicle types.

The project explored electric vehicle charging technology, focusing on inductive and resonant methods. Key research areas included designing full-scale inductive charging systems, understanding EV automation codes, optimizing gantry system designs, and integrating these concepts with full-scale electric vehicles. Due to sourcing constraints, the team adapted their work to a 1:10 scale model.

This collaboration has the potential to transform the electric vehicle charging industry, offering a more efficient and automated wireless charging solution. The QKOIL system represents a significant step forward in sustainable transportation, promising a future where electric vehicle charging is seamless and highly reliable.
