Clearly, the concept of inductive charging can't be patented. But there
are many variations that might be unique and could be awarded a patent.
For example, they may have invented a new way of using multiple coils to
focus the field and increase efficiency. Or maybe they have simply
patented some ancillary part, like the housing. Who knows.

How could they patient inductive charging? That technology has been
around over 100 years. My toothbrush charges that way.

GE in collaboration with Mahindra has developed a technology to
wirelessly
charge the e2O Sport concept car being showcased at the Auto Expo 2016.
This
is indeed a value creation opportunity for manufacturers of electric
vehicles of all sizes. This technology can pave the way to increased
adoption of EVs for a cleaner, greener future. EV charging eliminates
the
need for a charging cable which is prone to damage, vandalism and
potential
safety concerns. It also improves user comfort and convenience as there
is
no need to manually plug in a cable – just park the vehicle over the
charging pad and charging begins.
The wireless charging technology developed by GE also has several
benefits
over traditional charging methods. GE’s patented multi-coil system
transfers
electric power with peak efficiency of over 92% across the ground
clearance
of the vehicle at 3300 W. The technology also features a misalignment
tolerance in the range of 150 to 200 mm which is typically the radius
of the
coil assembly. Unique protection and control mechanisms are embedded to
ensure safe, reliable, and robust operation of the system. The
technology
enables Enables efficient interoperability with other charging systems.
The
technology can also enable state of the art advanced charging
strategies
like “charge on-the-go” which can eliminate the need to stop the
vehicle for
a charge.
Electric Vehicles are truly the future, what with stress being laid on
emission norms and global climate impact. However, the constant need to
park
the vehicle becomes a restraining factor for those who are in need of
continuous use of their vehicles. The groundbreaking technology of
wireless
charging which also facilitates charging-on-the-go can definitely be a
game
changer for vehicles in this segment. This particular advancement can
also
bring in a surge in demand for electric vehicles. Other vehicle
manufacturers shall also start with their own research and development
on
such vehicles, if this concept proves to be indeed beneficial and
feasible.
