Wireless charging methods charge electric cars while they are driving on highways
newYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Driving an electric vehicle could soon mean charging on the go. A new wireless charging pilot program in France shows how coils embedded in the road can transfer more than 300 kilowatts of power to moving electric vehicles. This hack could make long trips possible without stopping at a charging station.

Researchers create a revolutionary AI-based fabric that predicts road damage before it happens
The road that powers your car
The technology comes from Electreon Wireless, which is working with Vinci Construction, Gustave Eiffel University and Hutchinson. Together they have installed a nearly one-mile-long road near Paris that can transmit power to moving electric vehicles.
To date, the system has operated a truck, van, car, and bus, all equipped with special mini coils. Early tests have shown that the system can deliver peak power of more than 300 kilowatts and more than 200 kilowatts under steady conditions. This is powerful enough to keep large cargo trucks rolling for miles without stopping.

Forward shipping: why it matters
If widely adopted, dynamic wireless charging could change the way America powers transportation. Heavy trucks can use smaller, cheaper batteries. Delivery vehicles and buses can stay on the road longer with fewer stops.
For drivers, this could mean never having to worry about range anxiety again. Instead of searching for the nearest charger, the highway itself can be your power source.

Roadblocks ahead
The big questions now are about cost and control. Who pays for the construction of these energy roads? How much will it cost to use it? Public-private partnerships may hold the key, but until these details are ironed out, rolling them out on a large scale remains a challenge.
However, with global momentum growing, it is only a matter of time before dynamic wireless charging becomes part of daily driving.
What does this mean for you?
This innovation is not limited to Europe. In Detroit, Michigan, a highway at 14th Street It actually uses the built-in charging coils It can send power to electric vehicles while they are in motion. In Indiana, Purdue University and the Indiana Department of Transportation are building a quarter-mile section of highway designed to charge electric vehicles, including heavy trucks, as they travel.
For drivers, this technology could make owning an electric car easier and more practical. Your car can be recharged during regular trips without having to stop, plug or wait. This level of convenience could help expand electric vehicle adoption across the United States, lowering emissions and fuel costs for millions.

Key takeaways for Kurt
Wireless charging methods are moving from concept to construction and show real promise for a new era of electric travel. The idea that vehicles can be charged while driving has the potential to change the way we transport goods, move around, and use energy. Big questions remain about who will fund a large-scale installation and how well the system will perform under real traffic and weather conditions. Technology is advancing rapidly, but scaling it will take time, collaboration, and investment. If these challenges can be overcome, dynamic wireless charging could redefine the way we think about mobility and sustainability.
