France Activates World’s First Highway That Charges Electric Cars and Trucks As They Drive
France has launched a pilot project, dubbed “Charge as you drive,” on a 1.5-kilometer stretch of the A10 motorway, testing its ability to wirelessly charge electric vehicles as they drive.
The project aims to send electric power directly into vehicles, from heavy-duty trucks to passenger cars, as they move at high speeds.
Independent analysis by Gustave Eiffel University confirms the system is delivering peak power levels above 300 kilowatts (kW) and sustained average power above 200 kW.
The early results are stunning, providing a powerful proof of concept for wireless charging on highways.
