Sweden is building the world’s first permanent electric road that will charge EVs while they’re on the move.
The country has already piloted four temporary electrified roads, including in the city of Lund, in Southern Sweden (pictured above).
But this 21 km (13-mile) stretch of road is going to be permanent.
The electrified road is being built by Swedish transport administration Trafikverket, which is currently working procuring a contractor for the project.
And the researchers argue that if that happened, then the batteries in EVs could be made “significantly smaller, at best only one-third of the current size.” What do you think about Sweden’s first permanent electric road?
