England To Test Wireless Recharging For Roadways | Alternative Energy | Forums

wonder how they will work out the billing

Ask EV drivers what they don’t like about their electric car experience and the chances are most of them would say charging their vehicles away from home is their least favorite thing. Now, researchers in England are exploring the possibility of making wireless recharging available on some motorways, the English equivalent to our interstate highways.

The government hopes the new technology will encourage more drivers to switch to an electric or plug-in hybrid car. Off-road trials of the Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer technology will begin later this year after the completion of a bidding process to select a developer. The trials will involve fitting vehicles with wireless technology and testing the equipment, installed underneath the road, to replicate motorway conditions.
