University of Florida PhD Proposes USAF Style V2V Charging

You’ve seen military jets being refueled in-flight by tanker aircraft, right? This is like that, except it’s with electric cars.A PhD candidate in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Florida has, along with his co-authors, proposed a two-battery system for EVs. First, a large, slow-charging lithium-ion battery would fuel the car, while a smaller, fast-charging battery would be available for on-the-go charging.

The candidate, Prabuddha Chakraborty, was inspired by a military jet being refueled in-flight by tanker aircraft. Except, instead of an airplane, it’s a car, it’s on the ground, and it’s electric.Chakraborty et al. imagined a cloud-based v2v charging network that would monitor the charge levels of EVs on the road.

, and they would be locked at the same speed until the charge transfer is complete.

The whole thing sounds absolutely batsh*t to me … but I don’t have a PhD waiting in the wings and a stack of math saying otherwise. What about you guys? Scroll on down to the comments and let us know what you think of all this –
