Electric vehicles are experiencing a remarkable increase. Recharge technology plays a crucial role in this whole process. Over time, there have been many technological advances with respect to electric mobility. There are currently three types of recharging points: slow, fast and ultra-fast. Each type has its own applications and advantages. Innovations in fast charging are making electric vehicles more practical for everyday use, as they are capable of providing up to 80% charge in less than 30 minutes.
Can you imagine parking your vehicle on a platform to start charging without using cables? Instead of cables, an induction coil is used both in the vehicle and on a charging platform installed on the ground.
When the vehicle is parked on the charging platform, a magnetic field will be generated between the two coils, which will allow the wireless transfer of electrical energy. This way of charging your vehicle offers an elegant and convenient solution for charging electric vehicles.
Currently, there are many mobile applications that allow users to locate nearby charging stations, verify that they are available in real time, and manage the charging process. Some of these applications are:
Electromaps
The most popular app in Europe, you can find more than 160,000 recharging points from your cell phone.
Place to plug
This app allows you to make private charging points available in case you are not using them at the moment.
Chargemaps
It has a feature, itinerary, that allows you to identify the recharging points before starting a long journey.
Future trends include improved wireless charging, integration of charging technology with the smart home, and the use of artificial intelligence to optimize both charging and power management. Los avances en áreas como la carga solar y la V2G technology have a wide range of future possibilities:
Solar charging
Their integration with solar panels provides advantages for both homeowners and installers, and solar charging is currently in high demand.
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G)
It allows vehicles to return excess energy to the grid at times of high demand, enabling more efficient use.
Technological advances in charging stations have a very important role to play in the shift towards more sustainable mobility. As charging technologies advance, more people will choose to own electric vehicles.
In Fulgor Solar we advise you to prepare your business and be informed of both current technological advances and those that will come in the future, get in touch!
