[RFI] Wireless Power Transfer with electric vehicles

I looked at the video and 6:50 into it there is a proposed schematic 
that has a classic switch mode power supply circuit.  At 21 kW, that is 
really going to create a lot of RFI unless they do a great deal of 
filtering.

>>> Oh, it's worse than the little Qi chargers, Jim.  We are talking 20kW chargers for electric vehicles and ARRL and IARU are very concerned about harmonics and inverter noise.  Right now, they are using magnetic loops, which are resonant, but also need filtering,, which at the 20 kW level Is not trivial.  The key is to get the right limits set.  ARRL has been helping to revise a few industry position papers, and although we don't always see eye to eye, we are making a difference and, more important, planning ongoing work.  Much like BPL, the goal is not to stop technology, but to help identify proper EMC solutions. With BPL, HomePlug  did it and HomePlug devices deployed successfully by the millions.

I am headed out to two large solar farms in Connecticut, just to get a feel for the EMI that may be present near them locally.
