The Europeans expect frequency ranges 20-40 kHz, 80-90 kHz, and 119-135 kHz to be reserved for preferred accommodation of fundamental and operation frequencies for “charging stations” for electric vehicles featuring wireless power transfer (WPT). The use of these frequency bands becomes possible via the license exempt conditions granted by Decision 2013/752/EU of the European Commission on harmonization of utilization of radio frequencies for Short Range Devices.
WPT systems and car manufacturers target for these frequency bands is compliance to:
- Conducted Emissions C1 & C2 limits at LV a.c. mains power ports of power electronic equipment with WPT functionality as specified in IEC TS 62578 Ed. 2.0 (TC 22)
- Radiated Emissions limits (magnetic field strength at 10 m distance) specified by Decision 2013/752/EU and EN 300 330-1&2 for WPT interface of the inductive power transfer system comprising the charging station and the electric vehicle.
