One of the most important issues for electric EVs is the power supply, which currently has charging stations.
Stellantis, a multinational automotive corporation, is working on a unique project.
This is good for electric cars that can be charged wirelessly on the road, which is good news for future EVs.
Stellantis recently demonstrated its Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer (DWPT) technology, which can be used to wirelessly charge its EVs using a specially equipped dedicated track.
DWPT technology will eliminate the worries of consumers finding a charging station to charge them, and will be carbon-neutral and environmentally sustainable.
The technology uses wireless UV charging coils under the tarmac to recharge the batteries without having to stop the car.
All vehicles will be fitted with a custom receiver for this purpose.
The receiver sends power from the road directly to the electric motor, which saves the vehicle’s battery power and allows it to drive longer distances.
The system has been tested for months on a ring road called the Arena del Futuro.
It is about an hour and a half drive outside Milan in northern Italy and is about 1,050 meters long.
Tests at the Arena del Futuro found that battery-powered cars, such as the Fiat New 500, were used to drive at normal speeds on the highway without the need for storage batteries.
Test results show that the efficiency of energy flow from the asphalt to the car can be compared even with fast charging stations.
Therefore, even with this technology, even charging stations may disappear.
The electromagnetic waves emitted from the charging system do not affect the driver and passengers, and are safe for pedestrians.
Anne Lise Richard, head of the company’s global electric car market, said the company’s long-term strategic plan, Dare Forward 2030, aims to make free movement for everyone.
DWPT technology simplifies electric vehicles and is important for reducing carbon emissions in the transport sector and for environmental sustainability.
In addition, it is an interesting technology for commercial development for global trade and is of interest to tech companies.
It is not only useful on the roads, but also in ports, It can also be used at airports and car parks, so it has great potential.
Despite the benefits, the cost of building the roads is still unknown.
Charging along the roads will be a very long charging system, so the cost involved can be a challenge.
If the cost is not as high as expected, it is certain that in the future we will see electric cars that can always be driven on the road.
