France Wireless Charging EV Highway

completed

France has activated the world's first highway capable of wirelessly charging electric vehicles as they drive. Located near Paris on the A10 motorway, the 1.5-kilometre-long stretch can charge multiple buses, cars, and heavy-duty trucks simultaneously at speeds of up to 200 kW, peaking at 300 kW. The system uses copper coils embedded under the asphalt to generate a magnetic field that transfers power to electric vehicles equipped with special receivers, enabling charging on the go even in adverse weather conditions. Developed by Electreon, this technology aligns with the French Ministry of Transport's goal to install 9,000 km of wireless charging roads by 2035.
