“#Indiana is testing magnetizable concrete for wireless EV charging<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Wireless charging might well be the next big revelation in EV infrastructure, and the state of Indiana is the latest to try it out.<\/p>\n

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) and Purdue University have announced<\/a> their plan to integrate wireless charging into the state\u2019s highways thanks to a special magnetizable concrete, called \u201cmagment.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Developed by the homonymous German firm Magment<\/a>, this concrete product\u00a0consists of cement and recycled magnetic particles. <\/span><\/p>\n

As per the company, the concrete medium has\u00a0\u201crecord-breaking wireless transmission efficiency\u2026 up to 95%,\u201d and \u201cstandard road-building installation costs, while \u201cenabling universal charging,\u201d among other uses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The project will be implemented in three phases, expected to begin later this summer.<\/p>\n

Phase 1 and 2: <\/strong>The\u00a0Joint Transportation Research Program (JTRP) of Purdue University will run pavement testing, analysis, and optimization research.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Phase 3:\u00a0<\/strong>INDOT will\u00a0construct a 400-meter long magment highway at an undisclosed location, to test the<\/span>\u00a0concrete\u2019s capacity to charge heavy trucks, operating at 200 kilowatts and above.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If all the above phases are successful, INDOT will use this technology<\/a> to build a yet to be determined segment of interstate highway within Indiana.<\/p>\n

INDOT claims that such a charging solution would be a \u201cword first,\u201d while\u00a0Governor Eric J. Holcomb said \u201c[the project] sends a strong signal that Indiana is on the leading edge of delivering the infrastructure needed to support the adoption of electric vehicles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s reasonable to assume that, in time, wireless charging will be a widespread method, which could solve once and for all issues such as long charging times or range anxiety. The cost required to incorporate it in public roads will be steep, though.<\/p>\n
