Results for tag: "Electrified Road For Electric Vehicle Charging"

The electrified road for electric vehicle (EV) charging—sometimes referred to as dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT)—is part of an emerging market aimed at addressing the charging needs of electric and hybrid vehicles while in motion. This innovative approach to energy transfer entails embedding technology such as coils or conductive materials into roadways to charge vehicles as they drive over them, alleviating range anxiety and reducing the need for stationary charging stations. This can potentially lead to more efficient use of the EV battery capacity, as it allows vehicles to maintain a charge during travel and thus extend their range. The concept harmonizes with advancements in autonomous and connected vehicles and smart infrastructure, creating synergies that could revolutionize the transportation ecosystem. Several companies and consortia around the world are actively participating in the development of electrified road technology. Notable entities in the market include Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. with their Qualcomm Halo technology for wireless EV charging, ElectReon Wireless that works on deploying its wireless power network for electric vehicles, and Elonroad, a Swedish company developing a high-tech electric road concept. Additionally, traditional automotive companies and infrastructure firms are increasingly taking interest and partnering with technology developers to integrate such solutions into future transportation plans.
