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.
