Electric trunking will help charge electric vehicles while driving

In England, very soon will begin testing the electric highway, which will allow all owners of electric vehicles and hybrid cars to charge their vehicles on the go. Such tests are conducted for the first time in the country. Presumably, they can improve the absorption of energy by electric cars.

Run a test line

Although, at first glance, this idea may seem reckless, in fact it is firmly based on reality. Experts have long concluded that the highways of England are quite suitable for testing. This is justified by their technical and economic characteristics.

During this year, it is planned to build a test site, where each electric vehicle will be equipped with wireless technology. Along with this, special equipment will be installed under the road. Vehicles can replenish their energy reserves in their batteries, directly in contact with the road surface.

If the testing is successful, then it is likely that the country will soon be the first highway capable of charging electric vehicles. It is assumed that the highway will have only one strip, designed to replenish the batteries. According to the authors of the project, there is no need to build a fully connected freeway. This is due to the fact that during the journey, drivers often pass by roadside chargers.

The overall picture remains unclear. According to Highways England, details will be announced after the government appoints a contractor.

New opportunities

During the tests, the researchers will conduct a thorough check of the equipment under different driving conditions. Technology itself, as BBC News explains, has long been not new, as other countries have successfully used it. For example, buses in South Korea can be freely loaded on certain routes. For this, a magnetic resonance process is used in which the batteries replenish the energy reserves through a magnetic field that generates electricity.

"The technology of recharging vehicles right during the movement offers exciting opportunities. The government has already allocated $ 780 million for Britain to acquire such roads within the next five years, "Transport Minister Andrew Jones said in a statement.


Benefits of progress

On the new highway, you can charge an electric car of any model. Some experts suggest that the transition to fuel free transport systems will be the first step towards combating climate change, since such funds allocate a relatively small amount of greenhouse gases.

One of the main disadvantages of battery machines is a phenomenon that experts call the "alarm range". Due to the need for regular recharging of the vehicle, drivers are constantly worried. The owners of cars are worried that they can just not be in time to reach the electric filling station. A new technology for equipping highways will help overcome this limitation.
