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.

Dynamic Wireless Charging Motorway Results
A consortium, including VINCI Autoroutes and Electreon, is testing an induction charging system that allows various electric vehicles, including heavy-duty trucks, to recharge directly while driving under real traffic conditions. Tests have confirmed the system can safely deliver high power, validating the potential for this Electric Road System (ERS) to significantly accelerate the decarbonisation of road freight by reducing battery size, costs, and reliance on raw materials.
