Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and Electreon make history with the inauguration of America’s inaugural public in-road charging system. Situated along a 1-mile stretch on 14th street near Michigan Central in Corktown, Detroit, these wireless charging roads are set to reshape the future of electric vehicle (EV) integration.
Electreon, the pioneering force behind the development, design, evaluation, and testing, envisions electrified roadways accelerating EV adoption. Operating seamlessly on public streets, the system connects authorized vehicles directly above, to the in-road wireless charging coils.
MDOT, in collaboration with traffic service centers, will monitor and gather real-time insights through cloud-based software. Electric vehicles utilizing this cutting-edge technology can charge while driving, in motion, and even while parked, transforming urban landscapes into sustainable energy platforms.
