Electric coils are integrated into the roadway on a four-lane 1.6-kilometer section of State Route 516 near Orlando, Florida. Downloadable. The project aims to use the power of wireless power transmission to power electric vehicles in the future without stopping at charging stations. The Central Florida Highway Authority (CFX) has filed an order for about €12 million with Norwegian company ENRX.
ENRX describes itself as a global technology leader and the only company experienced in dynamic charging with more than 100 kW of power. the “Next-generation electric road system” This solution from the Norwegians allows seamless interaction between different technologies as well as performance levels for different types of vehicles and batteries. Maintenance-free charging technology, designed for a service life of several decades, should also be usable for all future systems.
A similar project was announced in Germany earlier this year. Here, the Israeli company Electreon, the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Autobahn GmbH and Risomat want to equip a kilometer-long motorway in northern Bavaria with inductive charging technology. Commissioning is scheduled for 2025. Charging capacity should reach 125 kW.
