This technology has been talked about for many years. Its essence is that electric cars are charged directly in the process of movement, without the need for long pauses to replenish their energy sources.

what is known

• The length of the private road is still limited to one mile. It is about 1.7 kilometers.
• The project is experimental in nature and its aim is to find the actual operating conditions of such a system and to determine the benefits of these pathways.
• The path will take electricity from the general grid and transfer it to the charging coils under the top cover.
• Each coil will be connected individually, so accidental damage to one coil will not disrupt the entire network.
• To receive energy in vehicles, you will need to install a special receiving device. Without contact, the road is not energized, so there is no risk of electric shock for people and animals passing by.

There is a problem

The whole idea faces an important problem – the calculation of the payment for this service. The amount of energy transferred depends on the type and speed of the electric car. It will be very difficult to implement commercial use. The ideal option is public transport, which runs on the same routes and times, it is easiest to set up the system.

Another practical option is roads with maximum congestion so that vehicles can be charged at idle. But drivers should not forget that such a road will not be able to fully charge the electric car, even over long distances.
