The studies for a Hybrid Electrical Vehicle (HEV) have attracted considerable attention because of the necessity of developing alternative methods to generate energy for vehicles due to limited fuel-based energy, global warming, and exhaust emission limits in the last century. Charging infrastructure for Electric Vehicles (EV) will be the key factor for ensuring a smooth transition to e-mobility. This paper focuses on charging technologies that will play a fundamental role in this regard: smart charging, contactless charging and on-road charging of EVs. Smart charging of EVs is expected to enable larger penetration of EVs and renewable energy, lower the charging cost and offer better utilization of the grid infrastructure. On the other hand, stationary contactless charging and on-road inductive charging of EV will remove the necessity for any cables, eliminate range anxiety issues and pave the way for automated driving. The electromagnetic and power converter design for contactless power transfer systems for future highways is reviewed in this paper Contactless charging is also known as wireless charging. Wireless power transfer works on the Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) principle, as found in the conventional transformers. An IPT charging method suitable for charging massive EBs is proposed to achieve Constant Current (CC) and Constant Voltage (CV) output with feedback control strategies or communication link between the transmitter side and receiver side. Two ac switches (ACSs) and an auxiliary capacitor utilized at the receiver side are employed to be operated once to change the charging modes from CC mode to CV mode.
