  • Patent number: 9463705
    Abstract: Apparatus, system, and method for adaptive charging compliance control are disclosed. A charging station wirelessly charges a vehicle in compliance with emissions regulations. A controller in the charging station obtains information regarding the characteristics of an incoming vehicle and accesses a maximum regulation-compliant power level database based on the vehicle information obtained and determines conditions of the vehicle parked at the charging station. The controller determines and delivers the maximum power level to wirelessly charge the vehicle while maintaining the level of field emissions no greater than the regulatory limit.

  • Publication number: 20160075249
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for user authentication in electric vehicle wireless charging. In one aspect, a method of authenticating an electric vehicle for wirelessly receiving power from a wireless charging station is provided, including establishing a first communication session with a portable electronic device. The method further includes establishing a second communication session with a controller configured to control charging via the wireless charging station. During the second communication session, the method includes receiving a base pad identifier from a base pad, transmitting the vehicle identifier, base pad identifier, and a request for wirelessly receiving power to the controller and receiving an indication whether charging is authorized based on transmitting the request, the base pad identifier, and the vehicle identifier, the authorization based at least in part on the account identifier associated with the vehicle identifier during the first communication session.

  • Publication number: 20160023557
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for wirelessly charging an electric vehicle. In one aspect, a method of wirelessly charging an electric vehicle is disclosed. The method includes generating a wireless field at a power level sufficient to charge the electric vehicle by at least one charging circuit comprising at least one coil. The method further includes detecting an arrival of the electric vehicle at the at least one charging circuit, the detection of the arrival of the electric vehicle determined based on a level of current flowing through the at least one coil. The method further includes generating a proximity signal upon the detection of the arrival of the electric vehicle at the at least one charging circuit.
