ABSTRACT
The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has necessitated the development of efficient, safe, and user – friendly charging system. Traditional plug-in charging method are limited by mechanical wear, safety concerns in wet environments and user inconvenience to overcome these challenges, this project presents a wireless charging station for Electric Vehicles that employs Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) technology integrated with Arduino-based monitoring and control. The system is designed with two major section A charging station consisting of a wireless power transmitter, relay module and IR sensor for vehicle detection, Arduino Uno, 16x2 LCD display, voltage and current sensor, and a relay-controlled DC motor simulating real-time charging behavior. The IR sensor automatically activates the transmitter when a vehicle is detected, ensuring energy efficiency and system safety. The receiver coil captures the induced electromagnetic field, rectifies it to DC and provides controlled power to the vehicle battery while continuously monitoring voltage and current levels. Data from sensors are displayed on the LCD for real-time status updates. This system eliminates the need for physical connectors, reducing the risk of electric shock, corrosion or mechanical failure. The Arduino ensures precise control of charging parameters, while the design is scalable for integration into smart city infrastructure. Future extensions can include IOT- based remote monitoring, AI-driven load optimization and solar-powered charging to enhance sustainability. Overall, this project demonstrates a low-cost, intelligent and practical approach for implementing wireless EV charging station suited for academic, urban and industrial applications.
