  • Publication number: 20170291496
    Abstract: Automatic, dual power, inductive and electrical, vehicle charge station. This invention is a convenient, automatic, electric vehicle charge station, where the driver does nothing except driving in. It can have two charge methods: A. Electrical conductive power with magnetic attractive closure in the charge station, for efficient dual contact transfer of either AC or DC to a vehicle. B. Inductive power transfer with mating primary and secondary inductors that inductively transfers power to a vehicle by a transportable charge station. For safety, the charge station has unique E-type laminations located front-to front, unique self releasing electrical contacts, and unique, self closing, safety sleeves in case of angry driver drive-off. No damage to vehicle or station. Many different systems are described for guidance of the vehicle into the charge station.

This invention is a convenient, automatic, electric vehicle charge station, where the driver does nothing except driving in. It can have two charge methods: A. Electrical conductive power with efficient dual contact transfer of either AC or DC to a vehicle. It can have the dual contact closure actuated by magnetic attractive force. B. Inductive power transfer with mating primary and secondary inductors that inductively transfers power to a vehicle by a transportable charge station. For safety, the charge station has unique E-type laminations located front-to front, unique self releasing electrical contacts, and unique, self closing, safety sleeves. The self releasing contacts prevents damage to the vehicle, or to the charger in case of angry driver drive-off. Many other different systems are also described for touch protection of contacts and guidance and of the vehicle into the charge station.
