The goal of this project was to demonstrate an automatic charging system on an electric vehicle (EV) as a means of enhancing the desirability of EV's. The problem stems from the EV's short driving range per charge, which requires EV drivers to charge the vehicle's batter approximately six to eight times more often than one might have to fill conventional car with gasoline. By eliminating most of the driver's involvement with the charging process, the automatic charging system helps to ensure that the frequency of charging operations is not a source of irritation for the driver. Perhaps even more important, the automatic charging system also insures that no opportunity to charge the EV is missed. This feature will substantially expand the capability of the vehicle, improve its reliability, and increase the service life of its battery.
