According to the magazine Green Car Reports, Nissan is continuously improving the technology of its wireless charging of electric vehicles, the most popular of which remains the Nissan Leaf. The concept is very simple - receiver is built into the bottom of an electric vehicle, it should be placed on the transmitter charger built into the flooring in the parking lot or in the garage. The method of electromagnetic induction to charge the traction battery.
The charger of the first generation was able to pass up to 3 kW, which is clearly not enough for the night charging of electric vehicles. Under the latest electric vehicles Nissan understands that provide a power reserve of about 320 km. Now Nissan is developing version of the charger, capable of transmitting up to 7 kW, the gap between the receiver and transmitter can be increased from 100 to 150 mm . Earlier, the transmitter was lifted above the floor, and the receiver of the level of the bottom fell, reducing the ground clearance. The requirements for accuracy positioning of the electric parking is greatly simplified.
Efficiency Charger managed to increase to 85-90%, allowing to waste less energy . In the future, Nissan expects to increase the distance between the "receiver" and "transmitter" to a value corresponding to ground clearance crossovers. Tests of these chargers will start this year, Nissan hopes that other manufacturers will also adopt this standard. Related Products :
