Nissan planche sur une technologie de recharge sans contact des voitures électriques afin de faciliter leur utilisation quotidienne.

On commence également à [la] trouver sur les téléphones mobiles haut de gamme [...] et sur le rail(sur un tramway Bombardier). Son principe est assez simple. La borne de recharge possède une bobine dans laquelle va circuler un courant. Un champ magnétique est alors créé et va pouvoir induire un courant électrique dans [une bobine secondaire] se trouvant à proximité. Ce courant induit pourra dès lors recharger une batterie. Mais le procédé nécessite une grande proximité entre le chargeur et l'appareil à recharger, la diminution de l'intensité du champ magnétique étant proportionnelle au carré de la distance [séparant les deux dispositifs]. 1, record 4, French, - recharge%20par%20induction
