A charging system includes a service vehicle and a controller. The service vehicle includes a chassis, a series of tractive elements coupled to the chassis, an energy storage device, and a charging interface operatively coupled to the energy storage device. The controller is configured to identify a location of a vehicle, control the service vehicle to navigate to the location of the vehicle, and control the service vehicle to transfer energy from the energy storage device to the vehicle through the charging interface.

Charging system with service vehicle

A wireless charging system includes a platform having a substantially horizontal upper surface configured to support a vehicle and an induction coil coupled to the platform. The induction coil is configured to receive electrical energy from an energy source and generate a magnetic field above the upper surface, the magnetic field being positioned to wirelessly transfer the electrical energy to the vehicle while the vehicle is positioned atop the platform.
