Embedding inductive charging in highways’ road surface is an idea that many manufacturers have analyzed over the years, but none of them has yet to implement it for public use. But charging your EV on the move, while you drive on the highway sounds like such a tempting prospect that companies are willing to put in the time and resources to make it viable and the most recent automaker to try it is Stellantis.
The newest industrial giant on the global automotive scene, Stellantis, created a circular test track with embedded inductive charging, calling it Arena del Futuro (Italian for Arena of the Future). It was built as part of the state-funded A35 Brembi infrastructure project which links the major Italian cities of Brescia, Bergamo and Milan.
