Although in the early stages, an intended use of ___ charging is on streets to charge fleet vehicles, such as buses.

Although in the early stages, an intended use of ___ charging is on streets to charge fleet vehicles, such as buses.

• A. Bluetooth
• B. Level 4
• C. Wireless
• D. Overhead

Answer: (C)

Wireless charging uses inductive power transfer through pads embedded in the street and a receiver on the vehicle. When a bus stops or waits, energy can be transferred without any plug-in connection, letting fleets top up without interrupting service. This street-based approach is being explored as an early-stage way to keep buses charged by charging during idle time or even while moving over designated road sections. Bluetooth is only a data link, not a power mechanism, so it can’t charge. Level 4 is a high-power charging rating, not a method tied to street infrastructure. Overhead charging relies on contact lines above the vehicle, not wireless energy transfer, so it isn’t the option described here.
