"The world's first dynamic induction charging system implemented on a highway with real traffic is now live in France, and it's pushing the boundaries of what's possible with in-road wireless charging. While still in its infancy, the technology implemented by Electreon on a nearly one-mile (1.5 kilometers) stretch of the A10 highway southwest of Paris shows that induction charging while on the move could be a feasible alternative to charging stops,"
"After conducting several on-site test charges under real traffic conditions, three laboratories from Gustave Eiffel University found that the in-road inductive charging system can safely deliver a peak power of over 300 kilowatts and an average power above 200 kilowatts. By comparison, the most popular wired DC fast charger in the United States, the Tesla Supercharger V3, is rated at a maximum output of 250 kW."
In-road wireless charging has been largely experimental due to slow transfer rates and limited deployment. A dynamic induction charging system is now active on a public nearly one-mile section of the A10 highway southwest of Paris. Electreon installed the system and equipped four vehicles — a heavy-duty truck, a utility vehicle, a passenger car and a bus — for testing under real traffic. Gustave Eiffel University laboratories measured peak power above 300 kilowatts and average power over 200 kilowatts during on-site tests. Those power levels rival common DC fast chargers and suggest in-motion charging could reduce battery size and charging stops, particularly for heavy trucks.
