France’s A10 Trial Delivers 300 kW Peaks in In-Motion EV Charging

The pilot is positioned to support France’s plan for 9,000 kilometers of electric road systems by 2035.

Overview

  • A 1.5-kilometer section of the A10 near Paris enabled electric vehicles to charge while driving during real-world highway testing.
  • Project teams reported average power transfer above 200 kW with peaks over 300 kW delivered at typical highway speeds.
  • Four lightly modified vehicles—a semi truck, a box van, a passenger car, and a bus—received power during the run.
  • The Charge As You Drive project is led by VINCI Autoroutes with Electreon, VINCI Construction, Gustave Eiffel University, and Hutchinson, with support from Bpifrance.
  • Organizers said the system operated safely and reliably in traffic, and they framed the results as a step toward wider deployment without releasing an external test report.
