The rapid growth of electric vehicles has increased the need for efficient, eco-friendly, and flexible charging solutions. This project presents an IR Remote Controlled Solar Wireless Electric Vehicle-to-Vehicle Charging System, which integrates renewable solar energy, wireless power transfer, and embedded control for smart transportation applications. In the proposed system, a solar panel charges a battery, which supplies power to the vehicle and its electronic components. An Arduino Nano serves as the main controller, coordinating vehicle motion, motor control, and wireless power transmission. Vehicle movement is controlled using a TV remote, where commands such as forward, reverse, left, and right are transmitted via an IR remote and received by an IR receiver interfaced with the Arduino. The L298 motor driver is used to drive DC motors based on the received commands. Wireless charging between vehicles is achieved through inductive wireless power transfer using transmitting and receiving coils. A MOSFET-based switching circuit controls the wireless power transmitter. The receiving vehicle converts the transmitted energy to power an onboard load, demonstrated using an LED. This method enables short-range, contactless energy transfer between vehicles without physical connectors. The system demonstrates a low-cost, safe, and sustainable EV-to-EV charging approach, suitable for emergency charging and future smart mobility solutions. By combining solar energy harvesting, IR-based vehicle control, and wireless power transfer, the project showcases an effective model for next-generation electric vehicle technologies.
