In-Road Charging Holds Promise for Anxiety-Free EV Driving

Stretches of in-road charging could hold promise for EV users looking to battle range anxiety. This recent article from the American Society of Civil Engineers discusses the technology involved in building systems of EV in-road charging and various projects in the works.


The article cites Purdue University's in-road charging project as an example.


"Purdue University, which is part of ASPIRE, is working with the Indiana Department of Transportation on an upcoming in-road charging system that is expected to become operational this spring. The project features a quarter-mile segment of U.S. Highway 231/U.S. Highway 52 in West Lafayette, Indiana, in which a series of charging coils embedded in the concrete road surface will be used to transfer power to a test vehicle equipped with a special receiver. That vehicle will, at different times, be either a heavy-duty electric truck (without a trailer) driven over the charging coils or a test trailer that will be pulled across the charging system by another vehicle, says John Haddock, Ph.D., M.ASCE, a professor of civil engineering at Purdue."

Earlier this month, Lafayette Limo drove their two new, all-electric transit buses from Orlando, FL, back to Indiana. These all-electric TEMSA units will support Lafayette Limo’s Airport Shuttle Service. Funding for the project was received through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) VW Settlement Funds.
