Feasibility Assessment of Wireless Charging Systems for Public Electric Buses in Taiwan

The study evaluates key factors such as energy transfer efficiency, system integration challenges, and the impact on existing public transport infrastructure. Real-world case studies and pilot projects from other regions are analyzed to draw insights relevant to Taiwan’s unique urban layout and transportation needs. The findings suggest that with strategic deployment at high-traffic stops and depots, wireless charging can significantly improve the sustainability and scalability of Taiwan’s electric bus network. However, success hinges on overcoming barriers such as initial investment, standardization, and regulatory support. This presentation aims to provide actionable recommendations for policymakers, transport operators, and technology developers working towards greener public transit solutions.
