Nowadays, everyone in the industry is discussing
electric vehicles (EVs), their evolution, manufacturing,
utility, and dependability in the future. Also, businesses
and industries are evaluating every part of it, from
maximizing profits to taking into account its research,
development and ensuring that it is easily accessible to
consumers.
The efficiency in charging EVs, or how everyone wants to
choose alternative methods of charging EVs, is the topic
of the EVs that excites innovators and businesses.
Here, we'll discuss about different charging alternatives
to traditional charging. Specifically, smart charging for
EVs, bidirectional charging, and wireless charging.
SMART CHARGING in EVs
Smart charging is a charging system in which electric
vehicles, charging stations, and charging operators share
data links, with data comprising average speed, power
consumption, heat anticipation, time duration of journey,
and other vehicle-related data.
Smart charging system enables charging stations
to manage and limit the amount of time
consumers use their devices to charge in order to
save energy.

WIRELESS CHARGING in EVs
Wireless charging is the system where an electric
vehicle can automatically charge via wireless
inductive charging without the need of cables.
Inductive charging, often known as wireless
charging or cordless charging, is a type of wireless
power transfer.
In case of wireless charging, the proximity of the EV to a
charging station or inductive pad does require a perfect
alignment or electrical contact with a dock or socket.
HOW DO WIRELESS CHARGERS OPERATE ?
Nicola Tesla was the first to propose a theory on the transmission of electrical energy "wirelessly" in 1896. The functioning of wireless
charging is similar to that of a transformer and is based on the principles of magnetic induction.
BI-DIRECTIONAL CHARGING in EVs
Wireless charging is the system where an electric
vehicle can automatically charge via wireless
inductive charging without the need of cables.

for Bidirectional charging system for electric vehicle,
allowing a transfer of electrical energy from the
terminal to a power battery of the vehicle and vice
versa.
Title: Electric vehicle wireless charging method, apparatus, & system
Huawei Technologies Co Ltd secured a patent (US11312251B2) for wireless charging system charging station can charge an electric vehicle according to a charging request of the electric vehicle.

Access to different charging system is vital for fleets and
consumers that are considering about owning electric
vehicles (EVs), which include PHEVs and all-electric vehicles.
To charge the growing number of EVs in usage, a
comprehensive network of charging systems for both
consumers and fleets is required. The majority of drivers
start by charging at home or at a fleet facility.
Therefore, there is a great opportunity for the charging
infrastructure industry to offer various charging systems to
fleets and consumers, which can be beneficial to both the
industry and customers.
The ultimate goal of deploying different charging alternatives
is to facilitate regional EV adoption by state or city/urban
area and to assess how EV charging would affect power
demand.
