France Launches World's First EV-Charging Motorway
France has unveiled the world’s first motorway capable of wirelessly charging vehicles while they are in motion.
Developed in collaboration with Electreon, VINCI Construction, Gustave Eiffel University, and Hutchinson, this innovative system supports simultaneous charging for passenger cars, vans, buses, and even medium and heavy-duty trucks.
- VINCI Autoroutes implemented and tested an active 1.5-kilometer section of the A10 motorway near Paris.
- On this stretch, electric trucks, buses, vans, and cars can now be charged on the go — no stops, no plugs required.
Results confirmed an average transmission power exceeding 200 kW, with peaks surpassing 300 kW — more than double the energy needed to drive a truck along this distance.
Author summary: France introduces wireless EV charging motorway.
