Race to 1st EV Charging Roadway in the U.S.

What’s happening? Michigan and Indiana are both vying to be the first state with a mile long roadway that charges EVs.

Why is this important? Michigan will move forward with its Inductive Vehicle Charging Pilot. Indiana will use magnetizable concrete to enable wireless charging of EVs.

How will this be important? EV charging roadways are functioning in Europe and small test areas exist in the U.S. but a long stretch of public roadway in the U.S. is forthcoming if this Indiana and Michigan competition is any indication.
