Electrically propelled road vehicles — Magnetic field wireless power transfer — Safety and interoperability requirements

This document defines the requirements and operation of the on-board vehicle equipment that enables magnetic field wireless power transfer (MF-WPT) for traction battery charging of electric vehicles. It is intended to be used for passenger cars and light duty vehicles.

This document addresses the following aspects for an EV device:

— safety requirements;

— transferred power and power transfer efficiency;

— ground clearance of the EV device;

— functionality with associated off-board systems under various conditions and independent of manufacturer;

— test procedures.

EV devices that fulfil the requirements in this document are intended to operate with supply devices that fulfil the MF-WPT related requirements in the IEC 61980 series.

NOTE 1 Charging of a vehicle in motion is not considered in this edition.

NOTE 2 Bi-directional power transfer is not considered in this edition.
