The study evaluates the grid-side implications of on-route,
opportunistic wireless charging for electric vehicles (EV), where EVs are charged
during routine traffic dwell, relative to a conventional depot plug-in regime
that concentrates charging after service. Using a city scale microscopic
traffic–power simulation over a six-hour period with a mixed EV fleet, study analysis
integrates vehicle activity, station utilization, and feeder-level indicators. The
findings show that the distribution of uniform energy across operating hours
leads to a significant reduction in instantaneous loading, increases the
utilization of available distribution capacity and reduces load peaks. Conversely,
compressing charging into a terminal window alone results in the generation of
a high magnitude wave. The key findings illustrate that temporal regulation of
charging is a important factor in achieving grid compatibility, and
opportunistic wireless top-ups represent a viable mechanism for aligning urban
EV charging with distribution grid operating envelopes. It further motivates
field trials coupling control policies with observed traffic and feeder limits.
