What if, one day, we didn\u2019t have to plug in our electric cars in order to recharge their batteries? What if, instead, we could charge them simply by driving them? Well, the technology<\/a> for this is here, and Indiana is slated to be the first to test it stateside.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indiana\u2019s Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced that it will be testing a new type of magnetized cement, called Magment, on a quarter-mile stretch of road. The project is made possible with funding from the National Science<\/a> Foundation (NSF) and a partnership with Purdue University and Germany-based <\/span>Magment<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Magment delivers impressive wireless transmission efficiently, up to 95 percent. The technology could pave the way for efficient high-speed charging for electric vehicles in the future. According to Magment\u2019s brochure, the material is available at \u201cstandard road-building installation costs\u201d and is \u201crobust and vandalism-proof,\u201d which will make it more app<\/a>ealing to other states and countries, and help minimize upkeep needs and costs. The material\u2019s embedded ferrite particles can also be sourced and built locally, under license.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to INDOT, the project spans three phases. The first two phases \u201cwill feature pavement testing, analysis, and optimization research conducted by the Joint Transportation Research Program at Purdue\u2019s West Lafayette campus.\u201d In the third phase, \u201cengineers will test the innovative concrete\u2019s capacity to charge heavy trucks operation at high power (200 kilowatts and above).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

If each phase is successful, INDOT will then roll out the tech to the above-mentioned segment of interstate highway later this summer. \u201cThis project is a real step forward towards the future of dynamic wireless charging that will undoubtedly set the standard for affordable, sustainable and efficient transportation electrification,\u201d said Mauricio Esguerra, CEO of Magment.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re certainly excited to hear whether the testing is successful and if it does finally get rolled out onto Indiana\u2019s highways. What an electrifying prospect!<\/span><\/p>\n
