Solar self-powered wireless charging pavement—a review on photovoltaic pavement and wireless charging for electric vehicles

Abstract

The world today is facing an energy crisis, which has promoted the development and utilization of renewable energy, of which solar energy has the greatest potential. Due to the harsh environmental impact of fuel vehicle exhaust emissions, the development of electric vehicles (EVs) has been promoted, but its popularization and application have been restricted due to the charging mileage. Based on this, this article reviewed solar photovoltaic (PV) pavement and EV wireless charging technology, mainly from academic research and commercial achievements, and their strength, weakness, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) were analysed. In addition, an attempt was made to propose solar self-powered wireless charging pavement and to carry out a conceptual design, extending its connotation and further propose the road energy internet. This article intends to provide new ideas for the construction of intelligent transportation and to provide solutions for promotion.
