High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Plugless Power is a type of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) based on inductive charging. Plugless Power, a charging system for the electric vehicle (EV), connects the on-board EV battery charger inductively to the electrical power source, without physical connection. In simple terms, the two halves of the electric transformer are separated – one installed on the vehicle and one installed on the floor of a garage or in a parking lot. When the two pieces are brought together in close proximity, electrical current flowing in the station from the electrical grid causes current to flow into the vehicle adapter, charging the battery. The vehicle is charged by parking over the inductive equipment, eliminating the active step of plugging the vehicle in, or need for a plug at that location. Proponents say it offers a means of minimizing costly EV recharging infrastructures and providing industry standardization, increases user convenience and will promote EV adoption; opponents claim there is a minor loss of power in inductive transmission and suggest the convenience is an excessive luxury.
