The vehicle and the charging pad
BMW is the first automaker to offer wireless vehicle charging from the factory on a model.
This short clip explains how “BMW Wireless Charging”, the
technology that allows energy transfer to take place without the use of
cables.
The system consists of a base pad with integrated primary coil
,which can be installed in a garage and outdoors,and a secondary coil
integrated in the underside of the vehicle.
An alternating magnetic field is generated between the two coils,
through which electricity is transmitted without cables or contacts at a
charge rate of up to 3.2 kW.
This form of power supply to the high-voltage battery is extremely
convenient for customers and involves a charging time of around
three-and-a-half hours.
Wireless charging for the high-voltage battery will be made
available as an option for the BMW 530e iPerformance plug-in hybrid
starting this year.
