A 1.5-kilometer section of France’s A10 highway near Paris has induction coils under the surface that can deliver over 300 kilowatts to moving vehicles, exceeding Tesla Supercharger V3’s 250 kW limit. Testing with Iveco vans and Renault Masters showed average power above 200 kW under real traffic conditions. An Israeli pilot found buses could operate with 90% smaller batteries. The catch is cost: nearly $2 million per mile. Electreon is developing similar projects in nine countries.
