We've been hearing about on-road EV charging technology for years, including trials by Renault and Stellantis. Detroit has reportedly become the first city in the US to install wireless charging on public roads. The basic idea of ​​this technology is that electric vehicle drivers do not need to stop to recharge their batteries, but instead, induction coils embedded under the road can wirelessly transfer energy through a short air gap to a receiver mounted under the electric vehicle and deliver it while the Car is in motion Charge the battery. Parked or driving. Such infrastructure could also potentially eliminate the need for large battery packs, lower vehicle production costs, and lead to greater adoption of electric vehicles, while essentially eliminating any sense of range anxiety. The Detroit project installed Electreon Wireless inductive charging coils a quarter mile off 14th Street in the Corktown neighborhood between Marantette and Dalzell. Only when a vehicle equipped with an Electreon receiver is driven is the copper coil activated, “wirelessly transmitting energy through a magnetic field” to charge the vehicle's battery. Initially, Ford Electric Mobility, equipped with receivers, will be used to collect data as part of a five-year pilot project to refine the technology in real-world conditions and explore potential applications in public transport, although electric road systems are planned to open up in the future. Opened to the public a few years later. Electreon has already installed two static induction charging stations outside Michigan Central Station, and the Michigan Department of Transportation will consider installing additional units next year as part of the Michigan Avenue Redevelopment Project. “For more than a century, Detroit has been known as a leader in transportation innovation,” said Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. “We are the birthplace of the automobile industry and home to the first mile of concrete road and the first three-way traffic light. Today, thanks to Governor Whitmer and our partners at the Michigan Center and Electreon, we are able to add the nation's first wireless A. Tolling for public roads is on that list of innovations.”
