Michigan Completes Installation of Nation's First Wireless-Charging Public Roadway
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and partners have completed the installation of the nation's first wireless-charging public roadway in Detroit. The roadway is equipped with inductive-charging coils that will charge electric vehicles (EVs) with Electreon receivers as they drive on the road. This is a breakthrough for EVs, as it eliminates range anxiety, one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption. The Michigan pilot project is funded by a $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The roadway is expected to be operational in early 2024.
