Contents I. Introduction
In recent years, electric mobility has received a growing attention due to the increasing public awareness for environmental issues and technology improvements. Indeed, recent developments of power electronics and modern batteries have made battery electric vehicles (BEV) an efficient and reliable alternative to the traditional fossil fuel-powered ones, as it is also testified by the positive trend of the sales market [1]. In this frame, the transition from conventional to electric vehicles can also be accelerated by the possibility of wireless charging, being a more practical and robust solution with respect to the wired one, especially when operating in difficult environments [2]–[4]. Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems of practical interest are based on inductively coupled transmission coils, which are fed by a (relatively) high frequency current which generates the magnetic fields that allows the power transfer.
