This experimental road is one very long charger for electric vehicles.

This experimental road is one very long charger charger electric vehicles


This means electric vehicles get to travel longer distances with smaller batteries.


Sweden has built an electrified road that recharges your car as you're driving on it. The project, called eRoadArlanda, is part of the Swedish Government's plans for a fossil-fuel independent transportation system by 2030.

  1. We already have this. And there's a motive why we charge them with cables and not rails.

  2. How is this considered environmentally friendly???????? I'll wait!

    1. In theory? The vehicle does not need to stop in another location to charge, is able to do it on the go, and takes less power to travel further distances.
      This results in a net decrease in emissions, over time.

    2. Not entirely sure what argument you’re trying to make here but just anything is >> than the cO2 being put into the atmosphere by combustion engines. Nothing is perfect on inception but EVs are just getting started and they’re already, faster, safer, cleaner, and better in just about every metric vs combustion vehicles. The tech is only going to get faster, safer, cleaner over time. Progress is happening wether you like it or not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    3. it would take a millennia to recoup the negative carbon emissions from building such infrastructure. Cost-benefit analysis isn’t being used here

    4. They're using existing infrastructure, by inserting the rails into pre-existing roads; they aren't building entirely new ones. I could see your point if they were building new roads, but again, they aren't.

    5. Where are the rails coming from?
      They just appear out of thin air?

    6. do you actually care? Ask yourself why you’re so triggered by electric vehicles. Did they hurt you?

    7. I'm not at all, I just don't think this is a well thought out option compared to what is being developed currently in the ev market.
      Why are you so triggered by my post? ;D

    8. Compared to oil changes and coolant flushes being thrown in ditches across the world? Again where did electric cars hurt you? I just think it’s funny an Australian is commenting on a NPR post in America about electric cars.

    9. I never stated I was comparing it to petrol/diesel vehicles(yes I edited my last post, but even the un edited was still comparing it to other ev concepts)

      Maybe Australians like to watch what is going on in the rest of the world? Or due to America's need to be the biggest and best we are forced to watch what is happening even if it's not always by choice or its just for comedic value when the place falls apart.

      Maybe I just like watching how tech is moving forward?

    10. Since you spend time on Americans posts you’ll understand how much bad faith debate we have by conservatives. People pretend to care just to poke things with a stick.

    11. *An Australian, complaining on an article posted in the US, about an infrastructure experiment going on in Sweden

      Fixed it.

    12. Are Americans able to see further than their nose?

  3. There we go, something we can work with at least...

  4. Looks like train tracks and how would this really work in blizzards??!!

  5. So it's a trolley system for cars?

  12. The rail of retarded thinking and mass electrocution.
    Having wireless power but still sticking a fork in the electrical socket.
    Total retardation of science
