According to foreign media reports, Israeli startup Electreon Wireless Ltd. plans to install a charging coil under a 1.2-mile highway in Tel Aviv in mid-August this year to achieve charging while driving.
Electreon is also conducting electrified road projects in Sweden, but the COVID-19 epidemic slowed the project. The company is currently restarting the project to install charging coils on a 2.5-mile stretch of road on the Baltic island of Gotland in Sweden to power an airport shuttle bus and an electric truck of the Dan bus company. Now, the project has entered the final stage.
All electric car owners know that it takes about 10 seconds to plug in and charge the electric car. The next day, the battery is enough for the vehicle to travel 200 to 300 miles. However, expressway fast charging technology is also constantly developing, that is, technology that allows car owners to charge while driving. Despite this, Oren Ezer, CEO of Electreon, believes that electric vehicles need to be replenished without stopping in the future, especially electric autonomous vehicles in the future.
Therefore, the company decided to install copper coils under the road surface. When electric vehicles pass by, such copper coils can wirelessly transmit electricity from the grid to the receiver attached under the electric vehicle. Electreon executives said that nearly two-thirds of the roads will be available for such equipment during the night of construction.
With automatic charging roads, electric vehicle manufacturers can use smaller and lighter batteries, because the battery power of the owner can be replenished when driving, and even smaller batteries can provide enough battery life, which can reduce the pure battery. The purchase price of an electric car.
Electreon wants to first deploy such charging coils on city bus and shuttle bus routes. After installing a mile-long electrified road in Tel Aviv, the company hopes to expand the deployment to a long line in the city, and its vision is to achieve pure electric urban transportation on a global scale.
In fact, the technology is not a new concept. The German industrial giant Siemens has also developed electric road technology and conducted experiments in Sweden and South Korea. As with other non-traditional electric vehicle charging strategies such as battery replacement or point-to-point charging, this technology is still a risky technology.
The Swedish project of Electreon is expected to cost $12 million, most of which is provided by the Swedish government, and the test will allow Sweden to build more than 1,000 miles of electrified highways. (Yu Qiuyun)
