| dc.description.abstract | EVs have existed for many years but have not become popular until a few years ago due to the environmental benefits they offer. This has caused the EV market to recently explode in terms of sales and it is expected to have great potential since the EU decided to ban the selling of new ICE cars from 2035. A fast growing EV market demands good ways of charging since this is one of the biggest obstacles when compared to traditional ICE cars. Wireless charging is a new way of charging EVs with multiple benefits which could be the standard way of doing it in the future. Some companies have started to develop this way of charging and pilot projects have been conducted to try it out. The broad aim of this study was to examine customer needs regarding wireless charging for private customers and fleet operations, identify their readiness to understand where the biggest potential is and what customer segment to focus on, and get a deeper understanding of the market regarding wireless charging. All this was done on electric vehicles in the form of passenger cars only, meaning two-wheelers and commercial vehicles were excluded. This was done by conducting workshops, interviews, a survey, and through internet research. In conclusion, private users were identified as having the biggest use of wireless charging since it is key in making V2G useful and reaching its full potential. Fleet operations would also have great benefits of wireless charging but the amount of kW that was required was on the edge of too big and therefore the infrastructure would need to be expanded a lot to lower this demand and enable a technical solution that is realistic. Therefore, it is believed that fleets will have to wait longer until they will start using EVs which will be charged wirelessly. | |
