Honda Plans Wireless Expressway Charging Tests to Cut EV Costs
Honda is preparing to test wireless charging technology for electric vehicles while they are moving on expressways, aiming to reduce range anxiety and lower battery costs.
The Japanese automaker is preparing to test a system that charges electric vehicles wirelessly while they are moving on expressways.
The technology is designed to reduce range anxiety and lower reliance on fixed charging infrastructure. By enabling vehicles to draw power while driving, it could also allow automakers to use smaller batteries, helping to reduce the overall cost of electric vehicles.
The planned tests would mark an early evaluation of dynamic wireless charging on expressways. Details such as timing, location, and the scale of the trial were not included in the announcement.
