Zusammenfassung: | A system and method of charging an electric vehicle uses a modular ground transceiver station (GTS) having at least two ground transceiver assemblies (GTAs). Each GTA is adapted to align with a vehicle transceiver assembly (VTA) of the electric vehicle, and a guideline extends from at least one of the GTAs a predetermined distance for guiding the electric vehicle to the GTAs. The GTS is selected based on an active GTA configuration of the GTS and a VTA configuration of the electric vehicle. The electric vehicle is guided along the guideline for alignment of at least one VTA of the electric vehicle with at least one of the GTAs in response to at least one signal radiated by the guideline. Wireless charging is initiated upon verification of alignment of the at least one VTA of the electric vehicle and the at least one of the GTAs. |
