Off the coast of Sweden on Gotland Island, a road powers and charges an electric bus on the go – wirelessly. The technology was created by Tel Aviv-based Electreon, where they are turning streets into charging pads. It is currently being tested in Sweden, Italy, Germany, and soon on a one-mile stretch in Detroit.

Let me guess …coils need fossil fuel to generate power.. Detroit on winter has no sun ..it snows… So here we go again👎 hey LC says the world's going to end in 12 years..no ..now 10
Oh, sure…. Even here in Canada, roads often are so potholed as to render them painful to drive on. So making each kilometer of road cost HUNDREDS OF TIMES more than before to pave and maintain is absolutely not (sarcasm) a recipe for disaster/ wasted money.
You ppl are insane lol yuk it's so disgraceful
Feasible here in the US? Of course, but would turn every equipped road into a toll road! Gotta get that life time of taxes going in as many areas as possible !
We're don't need every road to be equipped without tech, only certain roads and possibly certain freeways to accomplish this. It's totally possible and the tech is only going to get better so investors listen up". If you have the means to invest" do so, because this is a good money back investment, And a long term one. It's gonna take a generation to convert roads all over the world to this technology. After that it's trains and rail roads.
It's good to see that the amount of industrial emissions it will take to produce electric vehicles and these charging systems will equal or exceed the emissions of the electric vehicles themselves. Brilliant!
In India New Electric Scooter complains is Fire on Road,Dilip, Mumbai city
As are open Border rages on, killer drugs getting in kill100s of Americans and the young everyday, unvetted from all over the world all over America no good, shameful politicians and shameful media coverup.
How’s the electric made? Snow, rain salt effect roads.
Have a direct connect to the axle of EVs,and solar, to super charge them any time you move. Why isn't anyone doing this? No more plugging in. We could do and be so much better. Why aren't we?
Combine self running generators and power walls in homes and businesses for seemingly endless clean energy everywhere all the time. Imagine billions of clean energy sources all running themselves the items around and the power grid.😎⚡
Brilliant .
Or…100% solar powered cars. Would be a whole lot easier & we already have the technology for it. They first made them about 10 yrs ago…then the govt refused to accept them bc it would make gas industry bankrupt.
The roads in the USA are so full of pot holes 🕳 you can play golf
Remember when you recharge these vehicles it's using fossil fuel
Whole thing about electricity is it's generated from the sun, so why we have to pay of course taxpayers money funds the roads, bridges in our cities and States. So why would you be charged for free energy One of the biggest things about going green is It stops pollution and it's free. If it's not cheaper you may as well keep fossil ⛽️ ⛽️ Electricity is cheap till it's not greed takes over
Cool idea, but the government won't even spring for EV charging stations, so this will never happen.
Ok, good idea. Now take the Lead (PB) pipe from the USA and create Gravity generators that are charged by solar and wind to power them.
Dreamer in a world of facts,gotta try to distort reality
Hmm… the only problem is it would limit where one of these road charged vehicles could travel. I like flexibility and sometimes I drive to the middle of nowhere.
What's the efficiency? How much electricity is lost?
Outrageously optimistic bs
So they sent a reporter to Sweden for 10 seconds of film?
more radiation
Will the American DOT embrace this new technology?
ITS CALLED AN ELECTRIC BUS DUMB as#@! !!! they had the in the 1950s no batteries
Sounds like a way for the government to tax you on driving on roads.
What a copycat from F-Zero by SNES.
Finally! Thinking instead of griping. Go for it.
Thieves are cutting the cords off the chargers to scrap the copper

😮🧘♀️
They can use this tech along with self driving cars as well.
My concern would be the electrical exposure ie what if someone with pacemaker drove over it? Studies have shown problems arising in households and agriculture too close to electrical substations etc
Y in UK not included, behind as usual
This smell like solar roadways. First issue, how is the pay system going to work? How will it know if you paid to recharge, I'm going to imagine the flow of electricity will be always active since other cars will be using it. Second issue is no old ev's can use it and new ones will have to make room in an already occupied spot for the coil, adding to the overall weight decreasing range. It's a great idea and not the first attempt at it but still way to soon here in the US to invest in that. We first need a power grid that can handle that kind of demand and we are many years away from that.
There's so much stuff put in city streets already where stuff will go wrong.
That is amazing!!!
burn coal for clean emission technology….what a gaslite
HOW ABOUT LOS ANGELES PLEASE MAKE STREET LIKE THAT…. WHEN IS GOING TO HAPPEN?? PLEASE MAKE wireless change system please make it all of all of the country in United States please!!
Think it is time Governments take over energy companies and run them with tax payer money to provide electric at no cost to us only the taxes we pay…. Time to do away with energy bills otherwise what is the point in government, why do we allow a tiny group of people to make billions for something we all need when we can just do it ourselves…
Far more expensive than charging at home, and repairs would be a nightmare. I doubt this will be used for anything other than EV buses.
OMG, that's amazing!
Stuck in traffic is now a good thing! 🤗
wireless chargers is wastage of energy
Less oil use less money I make 😭😭😭😭
