Highways England is making it easier for electric cars to get around. Roads with special electromagnetic generating equipment buried underneath it will allow automobiles fitted with a wireless technology to fuel up on the go. Trials will run for 18 months.
“Vehicle technologies are advancing at an ever increasing pace and we’re committed to supporting the growth of ultra-low emissions vehicles on England’s motorways and major A roads,” wrote Highways England chief highways engineer, Mike Wilson. “The off-road trials of wireless power technology will help to create a more sustainable road network for England and open up new opportunities for businesses that transport goods across the country.”
