Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging with Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are emerging as a critical component in the global transition toward sustainable and lowcarbon transportation systems. However, the effectiveness and adoption rate of EVs are directly influenced by the availability

and reliability of their charging infrastructure. Conventional plug-in charging methods are often limited by dependency on

fossil-fuel-powered electricity grids, physical connector degradation, and user inconvenience. To address these challenges, this

paper presents a novel, sustainable, and autonomous Wireless EV Charging System powered by a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

(VAWT).

The system utilizes wind energy generated by vehicular motion along highways and urban roadways, captured using a customdesigned VAWT. The mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy via a DC generator and stored in a lithium-ion

battery. This stored energy is then transmitted wirelessly to an EV’s onboard battery using Resonant Inductive Power Transfer

(RIPT). A microcontroller-based monitoring system (ESP32) captures real-time voltage and current values and Display on

station and Vehicle screen .The proposed solution is modular, scalable, and well-suited for integration into smart city and

highway infrastructures, offering a promising step toward clean, plug-free mobility.
