charging issue

Inductive charging (also known as wireless charging or cordless charging) is a type of wireless power transfer. It uses electromagnetic induction to provide electricity to portable devices. Inductive charging is also used in vehicles, power tools, electric toothbrushes, and medical devices. The portable equipment can be placed near a charging station or inductive pad without needing to be precisely aligned or make electrical contact with a dock or plug.
Inductive charging is named so because it transfers energy through inductive coupling. First, alternating current passes through an induction coil in the charging station or pad. The moving electric charge creates a magnetic field, which fluctuates in strength because the electric current's amplitude is fluctuating. This changing magnetic field creates an alternating electric current in the portable device's induction coil, which in turn passes through a rectifier to convert it to direct current. Finally, the direct current charges a battery or provides operating power.Greater distances between sender and receiver coils can be achieved when the inductive charging system uses resonant inductive coupling, where a capacitor is added to each induction coil to create two LC circuits with a specific resonance frequency. The frequency of the alternating current is matched with the resonance frequency, and the frequency is chosen depending on the distance desired for peak efficiency. Recent improvements to this resonant system include using a movable transmission coil (i.e., mounted on an elevating platform or arm) and the use of other materials for the receiver coil such as silver-plated copper or sometimes aluminum to minimize weight and decrease resistance due to the skin effect.

    Intelligent Octopus Charging Issue

    Peeps, A lot of this might just be coincidence but pretty much every weekend if I put the car on to charge it will not complete the charge and instead I’ll end up with something like 10-20% added instead of the 40 or 50% that I’m wanting to add via my Ohme charger?? I don’t have this issue...

    Stupid car only charges when it feel like it

    Often when I plug in the charger the light remains blue when it’s suppose to turn green. When it happens I have also tested with the granny charger, but no luck, so it can’t be the charger. Sometimes the car will take charge if i turn in on, put it in drive, then shut it off again. But this is...

For some reason charging is stopping at 80%, which is what comes up as normal on the MG app? Amy ideas what I’ve done for the car to stop charging at 80% instead of what...

    Scheduled charging issue

    Hi guys. Has anyone had issues with the scheduled charging on the MG app. We borrowed a Tesla granny charger from a friend and set the app to charge 12-7 overnight - cheap ev rate. To our frustration we woke up at 9am and the car was still taking charge. This means it’s been charging for 2...

    EV5 it accepting rapid charge

    My EV 5 estate is reluctant to accept a rapid charge. Sometimes it will, but mostly it won’t. It’s been suggested that there may be a charging schedule that is stoping this. Can someone tell me in simple detail how I access the charging schedule to clear it?

    Charging issue

    For three years I have owned an electric car (Hyundai Ioniq) and have a Pod Point home charger. The Ioniq's scheduler occasionally failed (usually when you most needed it), so I found that the VERY reliable method was to use the scheduler in the Pod Point. So I would return home, plug the...
