Imagine driving hundreds of miles without stopping to charge your electric vehicle.What if the road itself supplied the power?
Electric Roads explores one of the most exciting innovations in modern transportation: roads that can transfer electricity directly to vehicles while they are moving.
Combining engineering, energy systems, transportation planning, and real-world pilot projects, this book explains how electric roads could reshape the future of mobility.
Inside you'll discover:
• What electric roads are and how they work
• The different technologies behind dynamic charging
• How conductive and wireless charging systems compare
• Why electric roads could reduce charging stops and battery size
• The engineering challenges of building power into highways
• The costs, benefits, and environmental impact of electric road infrastructure
• How governments and companies are testing this technology today
• What electric roads could mean for passenger cars, buses, and freight transport
• The opportunities and challenges that lie ahead
Whether you're an engineer, student, policymaker, EV enthusiast, or simply curious about the future of transportation, this book provides a clear and engaging introduction to one of the most promising developments in clean mobility.
The future of transportation is not just about smarter vehicles.
It is about smarter roads.
And that future has already begun.
