Grazian, F. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author)The lithium-ion battery of an electric vehicle (EV) is typically rated at either 400 or 800 V. When considering public parking infrastructures, EV wireless chargers must efficiently deliver electric power to both battery options. This can be normally achieved by regulating the output voltage through a dc-dc converter at the cost of higher...journal article 2023

Huber, Gerhard (author), Bogenberger, Klaus (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)The comparably low driving ranges of battery electric vehicles (BEV) cause time-consuming recharging stops if long distances have to be covered. Thus, navigation systems not only have to compute routes leading from the BEV's current position to the destination, but also to plan recharging stops. This type of routing problem is often modeled...journal article 2022
