What Are the Advantages of On-Demand Highway Power?
As electric vehicles continue to grow in popularity, one question remains: how will we power them on long trips? Exciting new technology may hold the answer.
Researchers are developing on-demand highway power systems that can wirelessly charge electric cars while driving. These systems embed power transmitters under the road's surface that send targeted magnetic fields to receiver pads installed on the vehicle's underside. This allows the EV battery to charge along the route.
Benefits include:
Added range, allowing longer trips
Not having to stop to charge saves time
More environmentally friendly than gas vehicles
Could enable smaller batteries, reducing weight and cost
Safer charging than plugging in high voltage cables
The state of California is already testing this technology on a one-mile stretch of electric highway. If successful, we may start seeing wireless charging roads across the country soon.
The future is electric, and on-demand charging makes it more viable than ever before. There's never been a better time to consider an EV!
