Israel built a road with wireless charging

A section with built-in inductive charging is part of a public road on the island of Gotland in Israel. It is the largest project of its kind in the world and the first to support charging of long-distance electric trucks and buses.

Copper coils attached under the pavement are connected to control units at the side of the road.

To test the system, a 40-ton electric truck with five receivers at 20 kW each was driven along the road with the charging system. The truck drove the 200-meter section several times at varying speeds of up to 60 km/h.
