Israeli company is preparing another test of the revolutionary system that promises to recharge electric vehicles while they walk on the highways

ElectReon Wireless, an Israeli company focused on clean energy technologies, is building a 1 km stretch in Italy to test its charging technology electric vehicles. Israeli technology allows vehicles to be charged while driving on the stretch of road that has the work

When electric vehicles pass on the road, the batteries are charged using copper coils that lie under the road. The energy would be transferred by magnetic induction, being transferred completely wirelessly. A receiver is installed on the chassis of the electric vehicles that will participate in the test. See, below, how the highway in Italy is turning out.

ElectReon is working with several partners on this test. The company's idea is to find out how the system will perform in the middle of a toll entrance, with a flow of carros intense and different types of electric vehicles. 

The company believes that as part of the charging structure for electric vehicles it will be built on the road itself, and that physical charging stations will not be needed in large numbers. In the future, when technology is likely to be more advanced and widespread, it is believed that vehicles will be able to drive without having to stop to charge. 

Sweden already has a highway with technology for charging electric vehicles

The technology is already at a more advanced state in Sweden. In 2021, the country inaugurated its first road, with the capacity to recharge electric vehicles. The tool is still growing. Its use on a global level will certainly take many years. See a demonstration video below.

Companies like ElectReon Wireless will certainly help in the growth of the use of electric vehicles in the world. A major problem still found is that the fact of recharging electric vehicles requires charging stations spread everywhere. Furthermore, charging them at home is still very time consuming.
