In 2026, the state of Florida in the United States is slated to kick off a pilot project aimed at wirelessly charging electric vehicles (EVs) along a specific section of State Road 516. This particular segment is a 1.21 - kilometer part of the Lake - to - Orange Expressway, which stretches approximately 7.08 kilometers in total length.

The Central Florida Expressway Authority will take charge of overseeing this project, which will be carried out in three distinct phases. The first phase will be the trailblazer in applying wireless charging technology. It is anticipated to open its doors to the public in 2029. Initially, though, it will be restricted to testing with specially modified vehicles. As for the target service recipients, they have not been clearly defined yet. However, it's worth noting that previous similar tests have mainly centered around the trucking industry.

In 2025, Purdue University in the United States made a significant breakthrough by successfully completing its first - ever highway wireless charging test.
