ABSTRACT:
Apparatus (10) for delivering electrical energy from a charging station (12) to a vehicle (14), for example, to charge a vehicle battery (16). The apparatus (10) includes vehicle and station bumpers (18,20) each associated with a respective wire coil (28,24), and forming respective flux path elements for the coils (28,24). Means (34) are provided for sensing the relative position of the first and second coils (24,28) and controllably delivering the electrical energy in response to the sensed position. Third and fourth coils (80,82) provide two-way communication between the station (12) and the vehicle (14), and blocking means (96) facilitates removal of the vehicle (14) from the station (12).
