Development of electric vehicles without batteries, taking electricity from the road surface

Japan's Toyohashi University of Technology has introduced a trial version of the electric car that can operate without a battery. The team worked on the project for five years, and the test was only released Friday.

The car itself does not have a battery and it will get electricity from the road through the single-section steel tracks on the road. Power will be transmitted safely to the vehicle through special tires, with a steel circle around.

Electric cars take electricity from the road to move.

To demonstrate the vehicle's performance, engineers have built a 30m-long stretch of road, and their car has a top speed of about 10 km / h on that road. Professor Takashi Ohira, the test driver and a member of the research team, said: " The speed of the car is smooth and the driving is very comfortable. "

At present , wireless charging technology for cars is not new, but what Toyohashi University is working on is far from over. There will be plenty of work to be done before they can convince the government and automakers to agree to build roads as well as integrate technology into their vehicles.

In the immediate future, the technology of wireless charging for cars has been deployed in the parking lot. The driver just needs to park the vehicle in the correct position, as the charging system under the road surface will be able to transmit power through the car without having to plug in the cord. Perhaps in the near future we will see more such wireless charging stations; The car is not battery-powered far more.

Even so, with what Toyohashi University has achieved with its special electric vehicle and track, we still have the right to hope for a future where cars can run comfortably. on the road without worry about electricity.
