France's wireless charging highway breakthrough marks turning point for electric freight trucking

Electreon achieves a world-first: providing in-motion wireless charging for electric vehicles—including heavy-duty trucks—at highway speeds LOS ANGELES, October 30, 2025  /PRNewswire/ -- Electreon (TASE: ELWS) a global leader in wireless electric road technology, announced a historic milestone: the successful launch of the world's first highway that wirelessly charges vehicles in motion. The shared system enables passenger vehicles, vans, buses, and heavy- and medium-duty trucks—to charge simultaneously, creating a universal model for electric mobility and proving that highways themselves can serve as charging assets in the shift to electric travel. Led by VINCI Autoroutes—France's largest toll road operator—and backed by Bpifrance, the "Charge As You Drive" project marks a major leap forward for electric vehicles of all sizes. In partnership with Electreon, VINCI Construction, Gustave Eiffel University, and Hutchinson, VINCI Autoroutes helped develop and test an active 1.5-kilometer stretch of highway along the A10 near Paris, where electric trucks, buses, vans, and cars now recharge as they drive—without stopping or plugging in. Several expert and independent laboratories of Gustave Eiffel University conducted extensive tests on mechanical, thermal, and power transfer performance, confirming average power transfer above 200 kW and peaks over 300 kW—twice the power required by a heavy-duty truck to drive that distance. The system proved safe, durable, and reliable under real highway traffic and at true highway speeds. This milestone positions the company as the first in the world to demonstrate reliable, high-power wireless charging for heavy-duty vehicles traveling at typical highway speed. Electreon's achievement in France shows that high-power wireless charging while cruising on the highway can truly reshape how electric vehicles operate—especially heavy-duty cargo trucks. By replacing the old stop and charge routine with continuous, on-the-go energy, Electreon allows electric freight vehicles to operate just as efficiently as traditional ICE trucks. With the additional power transfer, vehicles gain extra power as they drive—rolling off the highway with more charge than when they entered—cutting vehicle downtime for charging and reducing costs along the way. "This marks a pivotal moment in the global development of wire...
