Title:
MOTOR VEHICLE HAVING A STORE FOR ELECTRICAL ENERGY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/167851
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a motor vehicle (10 having a store (14) for electrical energy, which store is coupled to a coil into which electrical energy can be induced from outside the motor vehicle during a charging process. Said vehicle comprises a housing (20) in which the coil (22) is arranged, said housing being made of plastic toward the underside of the motor vehicle, and an optical waveguide (30) is arranged in particular between two walls (26, 28) of the housing. If light from a light source (36) is coupled into the optical waveguide and a detector (38) detects said light, damage to the housing can be detected and the induction of electrical energy into the coil (22) at a charging station (16) can optionally be interrupted in order to avoid hazards to persons.
