“…Wireless charging interfaces will be especially important for charging heavy EVs, such as buses, en route, and for autonomous vehicles, but will also enable faster charging of light EVs. In recent years, design optimisation has enabled the realisation of high-power wireless transfer systems with end-to-end efficiency around 95%, which are suitable for incorporation into DCFC systems [202][203][204]. Further increases in the power and efficiency of wireless charging systems are foreseeable.…”

As the number and range of electric vehicles in use increases, and the size of batteries in those vehicles increases, the demand for fast and ultra-fast charging infrastructure is also expected to increase. The growth in the fast charging infrastructure raises a number of challenges to be addressed; primarily, high peak loads and their impacts on the electricity network. This paper reviews fast and ultra-fast charging technology and systems from a number of perspectives, including the following: current and expected trends in fast charging demand; the particular temporal and spatial characteristics of electricity demand associated with fast charging; the devices and circuit technologies commonly used in fast chargers; the potential system impacts of fast charging on the electricity distribution network and methods for managing those impacts; methods for long-term planning of fast charging facilities; finally, expected future developments in fast charging technology and systems.

“…During its operation, the solar train will only be in front of the stop for several seconds while passengers board or exit the vehicle. This means that a high charging speed is required and, while induction pads are able to provide ultra-fast charging with speeds of up to 200 kW, 44 the PV system is not able to directly provide this amount of power to the vehicle. Installing an energy storage system near the train stop or adding a grid connection could enable more power to be transferred to the vehicle, but there would still be safety concerns from the use of high-power charging near passengers.…”

Designing with photovoltaics (PV) is the core focus of this paper which presents the results of a design study on conceptual PV applications for electric mobility systems. This is a relevant direction for new product development because PV technology can contribute to improved features of electric mobility systems not just in terms of CO 2 emissions reduction but also regarding product aesthetics and user experiences.Design studies are multidisciplinary by nature; therefore, in this case technical, user, regulatory and aesthetic aspects are covered. Eleven conceptual designs were developed in 2019 by means of a design project executed at the University of Twente, encompassing solutions for PV-powered charging of electric vehicles, vehicleintegrated PV products and other applications. The concepts focus on various modes of transport beyond passenger cars such as public transportation, electric bicycles and utility vehicles, in some cases applying alternative charging technologies such as battery swapping and induction charging in their design. In this paper four of these conceptual designs are presented as case studies, showing their multidisciplinary focus as well as parts of the design process behind their development. An evaluation of these conceptual designs revealed several design challenges that need to be addressed in their development, including the limited space available for integrating PV cells, the technical limitations posed by some of the proposed charging methods and the effective visual communication of the concept's intended function.

| ixRemarkably, none of the projects considered changing the colour, transparency, texturing or shape of PV cells. Although this could mean that PV technologies in their current form already have value for designers, it is also possible that designers are just starting to become aware of these possibilities and the potential for PV integration in these products is yet to be fully exploited.
