INTEGRATED PHOTO VOLTAIC SOLAR PLANT AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION AND METHOD OF OPERATION
First Claim
1. An apparatus configured for charging an electric vehicle, comprising:
- a power supply circuit configured to convert direct current received from a renewable power source into alternating current, the alternating current having a frequency; and
a power transmit circuit configured to receive the alternating current from the power supply circuit and to provide power to charge the electric vehicle using the alternating current, the power transmit circuit being further configured to substantially resonate at the frequency of the alternating current.
