Nowadays, considering the non-renewability, cost increase and polluting potential of fossil fuels, consumption of renewable energy resources has attracted great attention in diverse areas. Among them, the transportation sector is responsible for 25% of global energy consumption as well as 15% of greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, investment in the development of electric vehicles has experienced a dramatic increase in recent years.
Electric cars, either hybrid or battery-equipped, have been contributing to the reduction in consumption of non-renewable energy resources, although their contribution is not as sufficient as expected. Facilitating charging methods of such vehicles can be a proper way to encourage consumers to use them. Electrical energy transfer methods in a wireless manner can be employed to charge these cars, in static or dynamic conditions, i.e. in cases of being parked or in motion.

The challenge: Proposing practical methods to transfer energy, introduction of corresponding wireless transmitters and receivers as well as designing appropriate infrastructures in order to facilitate the use of electric cars.
