This paper presents a comprehensive survey and guide on wireless charging for electric vehicles (EVs), summarizing the technical and operational aspects of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. The study reviews existing literature, categorizing it into technical and operational research. It discusses the different types of wireless charging systems, including static, quasi-dynamic, and dynamic charging, and highlights their respective advantages and challenges. The paper also explores various WPT methods, such as near-field (capacitive, inductive, and resonant inductive), medium-field (magnetic gear), and far-field (laser, microwave, and radio wave) charging technologies. It provides an in-depth analysis of coil designs, compensation topologies, and converter topologies, emphasizing their roles in achieving efficient power transfer. The study also addresses the importance of standardization, infrastructure planning, and economic analysis in the development of wireless EV charging systems. The paper concludes that wireless charging offers significant benefits over traditional wired charging, including improved safety, flexibility, and convenience. It emphasizes the need for further research and collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to advance the technology and ensure its successful implementation. The study serves as a valuable reference for researchers, policymakers, and government entities seeking to understand and develop wireless EV charging systems.This paper presents a comprehensive survey and guide on wireless charging for electric vehicles (EVs), summarizing the technical and operational aspects of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems.
