Detroit Debuts First Wireless EV Charging Roadway in the US

Electreon and Michigan Department of Transportation launch a five-year pilot project to test and refine the technology.

Michigan has installed the first wireless EV charging public roadway in the US, located in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood.
The technology, provided by Electreon, uses inductive-charging copper coils installed beneath the road's surface to charge EVs as they drive over the road.
The pilot project will test and refine the wireless charging technology in a real-world environment, with plans to open it to the public in the next few years.
Electreon and the Michigan Department of Transportation have committed to a five-year development and pilot of the electric road system on Michigan roads.
Electreon has also installed two static inductive charging stations in front of the Michigan Central Station, which can charge Electreon-equipped vehicles while parked.
