The nation's first stretch of road to wirelessly charge electric vehicles while they're in motion will begin testing next year in Detroit. Here's how it'll work.
The nation's first stretch of road to wirelessly charge electric vehicles while they're in motion will begin testing next year in Detroit.Electrified" roadways, which have wireless charging infrastructure under the asphalt, could keep EVs operating around the clock, with unlimited range — a big deal for transit buses, delivery vans, long-haul trucks and even future robotaxis.
The state will contribute $1.9 million toward the project, which will also be supported by Ford Motor, DTE Energy and the city of Detroit.Most of that growth will be for "static" wireless charging systems in places like parking garages, taxi stands, and bus or truck depots. It has ongoing pilots in Germany, Italy and Sweden, and will soon launch a plug-free charging network for 200 public buses in Tel Aviv.Wireless EV charging systems use magnetic frequency to transfer power from coils buried underground to a receiver pad attached to the car's underbelly.
A taxi waiting at the train station, for example, can add 10 minutes of charging without having to plug in. Buses can also top off their battery at the depot while loading passengers.
