Abstract -Globally, Electric vehicle (EV) charging via static wireless charging is becoming more and more common. An EV, however, is limited in how far it can go between charges. To extend its range, more batteries will be required. Dynamic Contact-free charging is a feature that EVs have to greatly increase their driving range and do away with large batteries. This dilemma is being avoided by certain modern EVs. However, plug-in charging and static WPT will eventually be obsolete thanks to dynamic WPT. Allowing an EV's total runtime to be infinite. An EV may be charged while being driven, eliminating the need to pause or consider charging it again. Two types of coils—the receiver coil and the transmitter coil—are required for Contact-free charging. While passing across the transmitter coil via mutual induction, the receiver coil will gather power from it. For Contact-free power transfer (WPT), however, the difference in distance between two neighbouring coils has an impact. For dynamic charging, a charging channel is also included. The transfer of power is then calculated using mutual inductance while the EV is driven in a charging lane. The load may be used to calculate how far an EV can go with this additional power.
