England is now preparing for a series of tests to ascertain their new technology placed under the road surface, to allow wireless charging of electric cars while driving along the road in a bid evade lengthy stop-overs of the automobile invention.
According to a report by The Daily Mail, the new system is called “dynamic wireless power transfer” and it could remove the need for lengthy stops. Currently, most electric cars can go for about 100 miles before needing a recharge. More than 35,000 electric cars have been registered in the UK since 2001.
“Vehicle technologies are advancing at an ever-increasing pace, and we’re committed to supporting the growth of ultra-low emissions vehicles on our England’s motorways and major A roads,” said England Chief Highways Engineer Mike Wilson. “The off-road trials of wireless power technology will help to create a more sustainable road network for England and open up new opportunities for businesses that transport goods across the country.”
“The potential to recharge low emission vehicles on the move offers exciting possibilities” added Transport minister Andrew Jones. “The Government is already committing £500 million over the next five years to keep Britain at the forefront of this technology, which will help boost jobs and growth in the sector.”
“As this study shows, we continue to explore options on how to improve journeys and make low-emission vehicles accessible to families and businesses” adds England transport Boss. Electric cars are seen as a potential replacement for internal combustion engines, who have a negative effect on the environment.
