‘Electrified roadway’ getting closer to being a reality in West Lafayette, Indiana

Purdue University and INDOT are advancing a pioneering project to create an “Electrified Roadway” in West Lafayette that will charge electric vehicles as they drive.

Since 2019, the teams have been installing electric coils beneath US 231, which are now being covered with concrete.

The technology will enable electric semi-trucks to charge while driving at 65 mph via a magnetic field transferring energy from the coils to a receiver on the truck.

This system aims to reduce the size and cost of EV batteries, potentially making electric semi-trucks more practical, WTWO NBC 2 has reported.
