Transportation is one of the primary sources of pollution in the UK and globally. Electric vehicles are seen as the solution, and the mission declared by the UK government is to bring the UK to the forefront of the design and manufacture of zero-emission vehicles, with all new cars and vans to be effectively zero emission by 2040\. Data shows that more than 80% of all EV charging happens at home, during the night. However, 28% of the UK population and 38% of households within large towns and cities does not have access to off-street parking. As recognized by Road to Zero strategy, public on-street charging solutions that can be deployed across entire residential streets are essential for the successful reach of electric vehicles.There currently exist attempts at addressing the issues of roadside charging. Two central problems for EV charging infrastructure installation are the clutter. The street chargers consume a large area of pavement, which is both a danger for pedestrians and an eyesore. Additionally, the scarcity of charge points is a significant issue.Ideally, the EV charger would be located as close to the person's home as possible. So far, all of the existing solutions have their issues, which do not entirely solve the problems - most are either too expensive, or too complicated, or not universally applicable.Within this project, Lesla in cooperation with Keele University intends to develop a prototype for its new WPT-Kerb system, a kerb embedded charging station based on the Lesla low-cost wireless power transfer (WPT) technology. This product is designed to be integrated into the kerb and provide wireless contact from the charging station to the charging cable. Thus, the charging station can be fully underground in a monolithic form wholly protected from the outside elements; it is virtually indestructible and can operate even if completely submerged.The technology developed in this project can be used both as a final product for consumers (B2C) if sold by Lesla, or as an embedded module for other charging station manufacturers (B2B), who would include the WPT module in their products and their existing customer support systems.The system will been designed to enable as many charge points as there will fit cars in the street.

交通运输是英国和全球污染的主要来源之一。电动汽车被视为解决方案，英国政府宣布的使命是将英国带到零排放汽车设计和制造的最前沿，到2040年，所有新的汽车和货车都将有效地实现零排放。数据显示，超过80%的电动汽车充电发生在夜间。然而，28%的英国人口和38%的大城镇和城市家庭没有路外停车位。正如Road to Zero战略所认识到的那样，可以在整个住宅街道上部署的公共道路充电解决方案对于电动汽车的成功覆盖至关重要。目前存在解决路边充电问题的尝试。电动汽车充电基础设施安装的两个核心问题是混乱。街道充电器占用了大面积的人行道，这对行人来说既危险又碍眼。此外，充电点的稀缺也是一个重要问题。理想情况下，电动汽车充电器应尽可能靠近用户的家。到目前为止，所有现有的解决方案都有自己的问题，并不能完全解决问题-大多数要么太昂贵，要么太复杂，要么不普遍适用。在这个项目中，Lesla与基尔大学合作，打算开发一个新的WPT-Kerb系统的原型，一个基于Lesla低成本无线电力传输（WPT）技术的路边嵌入式充电站。该产品旨在集成到路缘石中，并提供从充电站到充电线的无线接触。因此，充电站可以以整体形式完全位于地下，完全免受外部元件的影响;该项目开发的技术既可以作为最终产品提供给消费者（B2C）（如果Lesla出售），也可以作为嵌入式模块提供给其他充电站制造商（B2B），他们将在他们的产品和现有的客户支持系统中包括WPT模块。该系统将被设计为使尽可能多的充电点，因为有将适合汽车在街上。
