Abstract: With the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), there is a pressing need for constructing charging infrastructures. In this context, wireless charging technology has been under development for the past few decades. Dispensed with awkward plugs and wires, wireless power transfer (WPT) technology is very safe, convenient and easy-to-use. Researchers have taken sustained efforts to make it an improved technology and automakers also work to provide the wireless charging option for their customers. In this paper, the basic principles of resonant inductive power transfer that is common-used for wireless electric vehicle charging (WEVC) are elaborated. Then, with a different emphasis on WEVC technologies, the key issues in academia and industry are discussed respectively. The core technologies of a fully-function WEVC system in academia are summarized and a comparative study is conducted among the selected WEVC industry standards. In addition, based on the possible technical development and currently valid policies, the author envisions the future of WEVC, followed by some conclusions and helpful advice.
