Abstract— The proposed project focuses on developing a wireless charging system for electric vehicles (EVs) to improve convenience and eliminate the limitations of conventional plug-in charging methods. Traditional wired systems often face challenges such as cable management issues, physical wear, and the risk of improper or unsafe electrical connections. To overcome these issues, this project uses the concept of Inductive Power Transfer (IPT), where power is transferred wirelessly from a transmitter coil placed on a charging pad to a receiver coil mounted on the vehicle. The system is controlled using an Arduino-based module, which regulates power transmission and ensures stable charging based on coil distance and alignment. The transmitting side generates an alternating magnetic field using resonant circuitry, and the receiving coil converts it back into usable DC energy for battery charging. Real-time parameters such as voltage and current are displayed on an LCD interface to help the user monitor charging performance.

The primary goal of this project is to develop a low-cost, portable, and efficient prototype model demonstrating the feasibility and future potential of wireless charging technology in electric mobility and smart transportation systems.
