A street in Detroit, Michigan has newly installed induction charging coils. The coils charge some electric vehicles when they're parked, driving, or idling. AdvertisementCrews have installed what's billed as the nation's first wireless-charging public roadway for electric vehicles beneath a street just west of downtown Detroit. Copper inductive charging coils allow vehicles equipped with receivers to charge up their batteries while driving, idling, or parking above the coils. The wireless-charging roadway helps puts Michigan and Detroit at the forefront of electric vehicle technology, officials said.

Electric vehicles are taking up an increasing percentage of the overall auto market share every year — rising from 4% in 2020 to 14% last year. Among the holdouts, a lack of charging infrastructure seems to be one of consumers' most common reasons for not switching from gas to electric vehicles. But now, electric road projects are appearing across the world as a potential solution to supplement static charging, allowing EV drivers to wirelessly charge their cars while they drive. Israel-based Electreon is one wireless EV charging provider with many pilot projects and case studies in operation in Sweden, Norway and Italy, among others. Electreon is also taking part in the first electric road project in the U.S. in Detroit, which is expected to be constructed within the next year.
