Wireless Electric Car Charging

This video was about how electric car’s energy not lasting long enough. Edward van Boheemen has created a wireless charging system to fix that problem. The charging system consists of a charging panel on the bottom of the electric car and one on the ground. You just drive over the pad that’s on the ground and it automatically starts charging. There is also an app that shows you if your car is aligned with the charging pad while you park. The charging pads take different amounts of time. It be a slower overnight charge of 3.6 kilowatts. Or it can be full in less than an hour with a 20 kilowatt charge. I find this article very interesting because it could solve the problem of wasting gasoline. Gasoline is a fossil fuel so we only have a limited amount. Using gasoline also hurts the environment and ozone layer. I think that having wireless charging stations is a novel idea.
