EV Charging by Power Strips Embedded In The Road - Cornell University

Recharge electric vehicle batteries by driving over special charging strips embedded in the road

  • Cornell team members are investigating technology for charging EVs wirelessly while the vehicles are in motion
  • Wireless power transfer is “based on the same underlying physics” that is used for sending messages via radio waves to spacecraft
  • Researchers have designed a system that uses two insulated metal plates on the ground, connected to a power line
