EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY APPARATUS AND VEHICLE POWER SUPPLY METHOD

摘要

Provided are an external power supply apparatus and a vehicle power supply method, whereby a power reception circuit of an electric vehicle can be projected or a configuration of the electric vehicle can be simplified. An external power supply apparatus is provided with a power supply unit, which is provided along a traveling path, and which supplies power to a power reception unit of an electric vehicle while the vehicle is traveling; and a voltage applying unit that applies a voltage to the power supply unit. The power supply unit includes a plurality of divided power supply units that are divided along the traveling path. The voltage applying unit applies the voltage such that the voltage to be applied to the divided power supply units becomes higher in the traveling direction of the electric vehicle.

主权项

1. An external power supplying apparatus comprising:
a power supplying device disposed along a travel path and configured to supply electrical power to a power receiving device of an electric vehicle during traveling; and a voltage applying unit configured to apply a voltage to the power supplying device; wherein the power supplying device includes a plurality of divided power supplying units divided along the travel path; and the voltage applying unit is configured to apply the voltage to the divided power supplying units, the voltage becoming higher along a direction of travel of the electric vehicle.
