Breakthrough research by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), a federally funded development centre in Tennessee, USA, has seen a small group of engineers demonstrate what it believes to be the fastest and most powerful wireless EV charger to date.
The ORNL team (via New Atlas) has developed a wireless charging pad that features a lightweight polyphase electromagnetic coupling coil design, which is said to transfer power to an electric vehicle at an output of up to 100kW. This would make it competitive with some of today's fastest tethered charging outlets.
