A wireless charging system and method for an electric vehicle, includes a gantry-like overhead structure for maneuvering in vertical and horizontal directions a power transmitting coil mounted on a charging line (e.g., rod or cable) suspended from the gantry-like overhead structure to a power receiving coil mounted to a surface (e.g., hood) of an electric vehicle (EV) for wireless charging of the EV. The gantry-like overhead system can move along a track to charge multiple vehicles (e.g., fleet vehicles) parked side-by-side in a parking structure. Movement of the gantry-like system can be automatic based on input from at least one sensor to a controller included in the wireless charging system.
