"Pioneering Infrastructure: Country Builds Roads Enabling Simultaneous Driving and Charging for Electric Cars"

Then, a 1.6km stretch of road in Gotland was electrified using charging coils placed beneath the asphalt.

In 2018, Trafikverket introduced the world's first charging rail on a 2km stretch of road, allowing electric trucks to lower their moving axles to get electricity.

Although the use of overhead power lines is limited to trucks, there may be some advantages applicable to private cars if wireless charging systems are deployed from the road. This technology works like Qi wireless charging with mobile phones. Accordingly, a pad is installed below the road surface and the electric car is equipped with a receiver coil that can charge the battery running through that pad. Such a solution has been tested in Germany and Michigan (USA).

You don't need to own an electric car to understand how convenient it is to be able to charge your battery on the go. This technology not only helps extend the range of electric vehicles, but can also create cheaper electric vehicles thanks to the use of smaller battery packs.

According to researchers, only 25% of Sweden's road network needs to be electrified to provide the most effective solution. Euro News reports that Sweden has collaborated with Germany and France to share experiences and research results, while the UK, US and India have also doubled down on efforts to build their electrification pathways. only me.
