As electric vehicles (EVs) continually gain traction in the Indian market, their increased adoption in the coming years will present significant challenges to power infrastructures. Electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) primarily rely on plug-in systems at a megawatt scale, necessitating extensive upgrades to existing power infrastructure. This leads to concentrated energy loads, resulting in inefficiencies in the electricity distribution network.

The OMI Foundation, in its latest issue brief titled EVReady India: Unplugging Barriers with Wireless EV Charging, identifies ‘streamlining power infrastructure through distributed charging loads and improved grid management’ as a key benefit of transitioning from traditional plug-in charging systems to a Wireless EV Charging System (WEVCS). By enabling on-the-go charging, WEVCS offers a more efficient approach by distributing the charging load across multiple locations instead of concentrating power demand at a few high-capacity stations. Additionally, WEVCS enables more predictable energy consumption patterns, allowing for optimized charging during periods of lower demand. Further, WEVCS not only seamlessly integrates smart grids and V2G technology but also enhances grid stability by leveraging BESS and microgrids, creating a more resilient and adaptive energy ecosystem. Through mechanisms like time-of-day (ToD) tariffs, EV owners can charge at lower rates and sell excess energy back to the grid during peak demand. This flexibility not only enhances grid stability but also provides an incentive for EV owners, making wireless EV charging a compelling option for the future of sustainable mobility.
