VEHICLES — Charging on the move . .
.

Owners of electric cars could kiss that cumbersome cord goodbye
without losing efficiency because of a proprietary technology
developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Not only would this
mean never having to plug your car in while it’s parked in your
garage, it could mean not having to plug in at all. ORNL’s charging
system magnetically couples an electric source to your car’s
battery with an industry-leading 90 percent efficiency, making it
as efficient as plugging in — without the hassle. A team led by
John Miller of ORNL’s Power Electronics Group is first focusing on
refining static systems for charging stationary vehicles, but the
ultimate goal is to charge vehicles as they are in motion. [
