On October 22, 2025, French expressway operator VINCI issued a press release on its official website, announcing that an electric heavy-duty truck had successfully accomplished dynamic inductive "charging while driving" on the A10 expressway close to Paris. This innovative technology functions by embedding 900 copper coils beneath a 1.5-kilometer stretch of the road. These coils generate an electromagnetic field, which in turn provides a wireless power supply to vehicles in motion. In practical testing, the measured instantaneous power soared to 300 kilowatts, with an average power output of 200 kilowatts. This level of performance allowed the truck to gain 1 kilometer of driving range for every 1 kilometer it traveled. This groundbreaking project is a collaborative effort between VINCI, Gustave Eiffel University in France, and the Israeli company Electreon Wireless. It represents the world's first trial of this technology on an open expressway. Such an achievement holds significant promise for reducing the costs associated with onboard batteries in electric vehicles and accelerating the shift towards low-carbon transportation solutions.
