Charging EVs on the Move
As the current decade unfolds, more and more solutions are being introduced to help eliminate what’s known as “range anxiety” in electric vehicles. Over in Florida, the state is constructing a new expressway built with an integrated charging capability, allowing EVs to receive power without needing to stop and plug in.

The expressway, which will connect Orange and Lake counties, will be equipped with an in-pavement charging system that uses inductive coils embedded beneath the road surface. These components are connected to the electrical grid and designed to wirelessly transfer power to vehicles traveling over the roadway.
