The inductive charging is to make the power supply of electric cars more comfortable. The transmission of energy in the batteries of parked cars runs over a magnetic field that is generated by a coil embedded in the ground. A similar technique is already used for the charging of mobile phones. When she goes in the car in series, is still open.

In Germany the project BIPoLplus explored in the Stuttgart area for a year the topic induction charging. In addition to communication between car and charging station, it goes in all the projects also to shorten the charging time.
