• Electrified roads for electric vehicles are divided into three types, based on the
charging methods.
• 1) Overhead lines pantograph technology.
2) Rail track technology.
3) Inductive charging technology.
1) Overhead lines pantograph technology
• In Sweden, the first electrified road in the world that allows automobiles and
trucks to recharge their batteries as they travel along has been in operation since
2018.
• The system transfers power from two roadside rail tracks using a movable arm that
is mounted to the underside of an automobile or truck.
Power transfer through rail track using movable arm
3) Inductive charging technology
• A single magnetic coil in a charger, which is fixed on the road surface, transmits
electricity to another magnetic coil or pad installed on the underside of the
automobile.
Advantages
• Higher costs
• Lower efficiency
• Limited range and alignment requirements
• Slower charging speeds
Conclusion
• Given charging technologies used in electric highways showcase a range of
characteristics, addressing different needs and challenges.
