Researchers at Cornell University are developing technology that would allow an electric car to charge while it’s in motion. Like a high occupancy lane, highways would have a charging lane that would charge vehicles’ batteries as they drive over its surface. This would be a monumental solution.

Wireless charging tech for EVs currently under development, will allow vehicle charging while in motion.
Researchers at Cornell University are reported to be developing a new method of charging electric vehicles. According to a media report, the researchers have come up with a wireless charging technology, which will allow owners to charge their electric vehicles while in motion.
The wireless charging infrastructure could be installed on public roads, allowing for EVs to charge on-the-go. The technology can also be used on highways by creating a separate charging lane.
EVs with low charge can enter the lane, charge their batteries and exit when done. The technology will also be able to recognise the vehicle entering the lane and send the bill to its owner.
Range anxiety is the fear drivers have that their electric vehicle’s (EV’s) battery will run out of charge before they can reach a charging point or their destination. This, together with long charging times, are two of the main factors preventing mass consumer uptake of electric vehicles

As EVs take more of the automotive market share, the need for increased EV infrastructure grows. Creating a charging infrastructure that can handle a mass influx of electric vehicles is proving to be tricky but researchers are coming up with some interesting ideas. One of which is the ability to charge vehicles on the road, while on the move, wirelessly. That might sound like science fiction but it’s a technology that’s getting close to becoming a reality.
