(cont'd from yesterday's post)
A wireless charging road in Oslo, Norway, is their first for electric vehicles. Built by a tech firm in Israel, Electreon Wireless, the pilot program is being tested on the city's bus routes.
Copper coils draw power from the electric grid and are positioned right beneath the asphalt. Electric busses charge automatically while being driven on the road. Durability will be an issue, considering Norway's severe winters.
In an interesting twist, government officials now question their strategy of promoting EV's. What they want more is to get people out of their cars and onto public transportation.
