The European E20 route with electric vehicle charging is the first such highway in the world. The project is currently under development.
By 2025, Sweden will have highways where electric vehicles can be charged. This will simplify the operation of electric cars. This was reported on the CarBuzz website.
Sweden is working to create an ambitious highway that can charge electric vehicles on the move. Studies show that this technology can reduce the size of electric car batteries by 70%.
The European E20 route is the first such highway in the world and could become a model for other countries. The project is currently under development.
In total, Sweden plans to convert about 3000 km of roads to charge electric vehicles. The success of the tests on the E20 route will show how promising this technology is.
Currently, there are two ways to charge an electric vehicle. The first option is to use a special installation on the roof that is connected to the contact network, as in trolleybuses or trams. This is suitable for charging electric trucks.
The second method is an inductive charging system that uses equipment under the road that transfers electricity to a coil in the electric vehicle. This coil then charges the battery.
The first public phase of testing the technology will take place by 2025. After that, Sweden plans to significantly expand the scope of its application.
