Once again, an Israeli company is ahead of its time and is preparing a revolutionary innovation in the world of technology. This time, the company ElectReon Wireless is preparing a revolutionary system test that promises to recharge electric vehicles as they move along the highways.

The company, which works with clean energy technologies, is building a 1 km stretch in Italy to test this electric vehicle charging technology. When electric vehicles enter the highway, their batteries will be charged using the copper coils that have been placed under the road. The energy is transferred by magnetic induction in a fully wireless transmission. A receiver will be installed on the chassis of the electric vehicles that will take part in the test. 

The Israeli company is working with several partners in order to carry out the test, which will also analyze how the system will work in practice, with the implementation of tollbooths, an intense flow of cars and different types of electric vehicles. The company’s goal is to develop the technology so that, in addition to being expansible, it may work without requiring the vehicle to stop in order to recharge.

The technology applied in Sweden

In Sweden, this technology is already in a more advanced state. In 2021, the country opened its first road capable of recharging electric vehicles. The tool is still undergoing development. It will take a few years before it can be used globally. See how it’s shaping up.

The expansion of the use of electric vehicles

Electric-powered automobiles are nothing new. They are as old as combustion engines. However, it was only recently that the technology required to improve their autonomy and performance was developed, making them an interesting option for the automotive industry and the world.

Concerns with the environment and the fear of oil shortages have made governments, automakers and researchers around the world seek alternatives to combustion engines. In this context, the main bets for the future of road transport revolve around electric cars.

The Israeli technological innovation is an attempt to expand the use of this technology in different parts of the world.
