Title:
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/058477
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A secondary self-resonant coil (150) is mounted roughly in the center of the bottom surface of a vehicle body and receives electric power in a noncontact state from power feeding equipment provided outside the vehicle by resonating with a primary self-resonant coil of the power feeding equipment via an electromagnetic field. When the electric power is received from the power feeding equipment, a high voltage is generated at an conductor end (160) of the secondary self-resonant coil (150), and a high electric field is generated around the conductor end (160). To keep the conductor end (160) away from an ECU (140) that is an electric device closest to the secondary self-resonant coil (150), the secondary self-resonant coil (150) is disposed such that the conductor end (160) is located on the opposite side (+Y direction) to the side (-Y direction) to which the ECU (140) is shifted with respect to the bilaterally symmetric axis of the vehicle body.
