In recent years, electric vehicles have become very popular. The underlying reasons for this are environmental awareness, energy efficiency, low maintenance costs and the use of more affordable electricity instead of gasoline or diesel. In this direction, electric vehicle sales are increasing in Turkey. Of course, this is not only valid for our country.
The United States is one of the countries where electric vehicles are quite common. In this regard, some states in the country have been working on highways that charge vehicles wirelessly for a long time. With this system, which has been tested in some regions, it is aimed to charge the vehicles only by touching their wheels to the ground. Finally indiana There has been an important development regarding this issue in the province. Here are the details…
Highway project that charges electric cars will be tested for heavy vehicles
in the state Purdue University‘s engineering team has been working for a long time on a system that will enable wireless charging of various types of electric vehicles, from tractor trailers to passenger cars, while driving on highways. Within the scope of these works, a highway was prepared to charge electric cars traveling at 65 miles per hour. Now it’s the trucks’ turn.
Indiana State Department of TransportationThe project, carried out with the support of (INDOT), has reached an important stage. So much so that it will be measured to what extent the wireless charging system on the highway can power heavy vehicles such as trucks. For this 1 April So, as of yesterday, construction began on the quarter-mile test bed on US Highway 231/US Highway 52 in the city of West Lafayette.
Chinese electric vehicles are rising in the Turkish market! Here is the latest situation
In recent years, Chinese electric car brands have been experiencing a significant rise in the Turkish market. Here are all the details…
Cummins Inc. for this test. An electric truck provided by a US company called will be used. It is currently unclear when the testing will begin. The state government aims to install this wireless charging system on some of the interstates in the next few years.
Currently, several states and countries outside of Indiana are testing highways that wirelessly charge electric vehicles. However, the most difficult part of this system is to apply it to heavy trucks. Because these vehicles move faster on the roads outside the city, unlike in the city. In this context, they need high energy.
Purdue UniversityWe will see together how the test carried out by the engineering team of . So what do you think about this issue? Do you think the highway system that wirelessly charges electric vehicles can be implemented in our country? You can share your opinions with us in the Comments section below.
