Scalextric-style roads that charge electric cars on the go could soon be built in Coventry as researchers explore ways to tackle 'range anxiety'

Known as dynamic wireless charging (DWC), the technology would ensure an uninterrupted power supply for EVs while in motion

Council-backed £419k project could see Coventry roads lined with electric coils

These mains-connected coils would pass an electric charge to the wheels of EVs

It would ensure cars, buses, vans and lorries have a continuous source of power

주행하며 충전하는 전기 코일 깔려있는 도로     코벤트리는 전기자동차(EV)를 충전할 수 있는 스케일렉트릭 방식의 기술의 실현 가능성을 평가하고 있다. 동적 무선 충전(DWC)으로 알려진 이 기술은 이동 중에 EV에 대한 중단 없는 전원 공급을 보장한다. 코벤트리 시의회, 도요타, 내셔널 익스프레스 등이 후원하는 419,000파운드의 '다이나코브' 프로젝트는 도시 도로의 특정 연장선상에 아스팔트 아래에 전기 코일이 박혀 있는 것을 볼 수 있다. 주 전원에 연결되는 이 코일은 차량의 휠에 있는 수신기로 전력을 무선으로 전송한다. 그런 다음, 전기는 수신기에서 EV 배터리로 전달되어 이동 중에 지속적인 전원을 공급한다. 보통,전기자동차는 도로변과 주차장에 있는 충전소에 연결하는 돟안 정지해 있어야 한다. 무선충전시스템(DWC)은 자동차나 버스나 트럭과 같은 대형 차량에 설치될 수 있으며 이동 중에 충전할 수 있고 정차 횟수를 줄여 시간을 절약할 수 있다. 이 시스템은 또한 '주행 위치의  불안'을 해결할 수 있다. 이 프로젝트의 또 다른 후원자인 영국 비영리 연구 회사인 Cenex는 Mail Online에게 동적 무선 충전에 필요한 기술로 기존의 EV를 개조하는 것이 가능할 것이라고 말했다. 물론 이것이 꽤 비쌀 수도 있지만. 하지만 BMW와 테슬라를 포함한 많은 EV 제조업체들은 이미 무선 충전 기술을 자동차에 통합하고 있다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 Ki Chul Hwang Conpaper editor

Coventry is assessing the feasibility of Scalextric-style technology that would charge electric vehicles (EVs) as they go. 

Known as dynamic wireless charging (DWC), the technology would ensure an uninterrupted power supply for EVs while in motion.  

The £419,000 'DynaCov' project, backed by Coventry City Council, Toyota, National Express, and others, would see electric coils embedded under asphalt on certain stretches of the city's roads.

These coils, which would be connected to a mains supply, would wirelessly transmit power to a receiver in vehicles' wheels.

Coventry is assessing the feasibility of the £419,000 project. EVs could be adapted especially to receive their power supply from underground electric coils (stock image) +5

Electricity would then be relayed from the receiver to the EV's battery, providing it with a continuous source of power while in motion.

Usually, EVs have to be stationary to be recharge while they're plugged into charging stations on road sides and in cars parks, taking up precious time for drivers. 

DWC could be installed in cars or even bigger vehicles like buses or lorries allowing them to charge on the go and reducing the number of stops, saving time. 

The system could also tackle 'range anxiety' – drivers' fear that they don't have sufficient charge on their EV to get them to their destination. 

The proposed system could turn whole stretches of Coventry's roads into a real-life Scalextric set

 

An electric car charges on a street recharging port in London. Britain will need new charging methods to help heavy duty vehicles on long journeys from running out of charge  

British non-profit research firm Cenex, another backer of the project, told MailOnline that it would be possible to retrofit existing EVs with the technology required for dynamic wireless charging, although this may be quite expensive.

However, many EV manufacturers including BMW and Tesla are already incorporating wireless charging technology into their vehicles.
