Detroit Bringing In Roadway Charging

What is happening? We talked about the roadways near Arlanda airport in Sweden that allow EVs to charge while driving on the roadway, and now similar roads are coming to Detroit.

Why is this important?  Detroit will welcome a one-mile stretch of roadway in the area known as Michigan Central, a transportation innovation hub in downtown Detroit.

How will this be important? “MDOT and the Michigan Office of Future Mobility and Electrification hope it becomes a nationwide model for how we can continue accelerating electric vehicle adoption and usher in a new generation of transportation technologies.”-Michael Frezell, communications manager for the Office of Communications at the Michigan Department of Transportation
