France’s Wireless Charging Highway Revolutionizes Electric Mobility

Transport, , , , , , ,

Electreon reaches a significant milestone in electric vehicle technology, announcing the successful launch of the world’s first highway stretch that wirelessly charges vehicles in motion near Paris, France. This achievement, part of the “Charge As You Drive” project led by VINCI Autoroutes, confirms that Electreon’s technology can provide dynamic charging at highway speeds for various vehicles, including heavy-duty trucks. Independent testing verified the system’s high-power transfer capabilities, proving it can provide twice the power needed for a fully loaded truck, positioning this as a scalable model to support France’s Electric Road System roadmap for decarbonising freight and logistics.

L-Charge plans to accelerate the deployment of EV Charging Infrastructure in Europe

Transport, , , ,

While Norway, the Netherlands and Germany are leading the race on electrification and infrastructure provision with a planned ratio of 3 EVs per public charge point, many European countries are lagging behind. In contrast, there are currently 22 EVs per public charge point in Ireland, and 27.2 EVs per public charge point in the UK. Increasing the number of grid-tied chargers is often a difficult, lengthy and cost onerous process because of grid constraints and aging infrastructure. Continue reading
