France Launches World's First Wireless EV Charging Highway
Imagine a road that can fill up your electric car's battery while you're driving on it!
France has just built the first road like this near Paris.
It's a special stretch of highway that sends power to electric vehicles as they move.
This means cars, buses, and trucks can keep driving without stopping to charge for a long time.
The road can give a lot of power, almost as much as the fastest chargers you see today.
This technology could help electric vehicles travel even further without needing to find a charging station.
France has launched the world's first highway that wirelessly charges electric vehicles (EVs) while they are driving.
The 1.5-kilometer stretch is located near Paris, along the A10 motorway.
It is designed to charge multiple types of EVs, including buses, cars, and heavy-duty trucks, in motion.
The highway delivers a continuous power output of over 200 kW, with peaks reaching 300 kW.
The technology has been verified by independent laboratories at Gustave Eiffel University.
