A Toyota EV drove 1,200 miles without stopping to charge thanks to electric roads with wireless charging
, potentially eliminating the need for lengthy pit stops or plugging in. To demonstrate the tech's potential, Electreon drove an electric Toyota for 1,206 miles straight on a test track that had its wireless charging coils embedded under the asphalt.
That's about five times farther than a normal EV can travel on a full charge. The impressive feat shows how wireless charging can revolutionize EV ownership, Oren Ezer, Electreon's CEO and cofounder, told Insider. "The purpose of doing this demonstration is to show that it's not a technology, it's a product," he said. — a plug-in hybrid model, not a full EV — for 100 hours straight, only stopping to switch drivers.
The Toyota's gas engine never kicked in to lend a hand, and Electreon didn't need to pull over to charge. Moreover, only 25% of the track was electrified. According to Ezer, even at highway speeds, an electric road can deliver more energy than a vehicle consumes.
