Currently, there are three types available: overhead conductive, ground-based conductive, and ground-based inductive charging.<\/p>\n<p>In the first type of charging, power is transferred from overhead wires to a vehicle through a pantograph \u2014 much like how trams operate. This technology, however, is only suitable for heavy-duty vehicles that are high enough to reach the electric lines.<\/p>\n<p>The other two ground-based options work in a similar way. In conductive charging, power is transferred from special rails or tracks placed below or on the road. The vehicles charge with the help of a mechanical arm or stick that touches the rails. In the inductive system, the power transfer takes place between coils embedded in the road and the vehicles.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Swedens_bet_on_electric_roads\"><\/span>Sweden\u2019s bet on electric roads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The ambitious electrification of E20 follows a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of successful ERS pilot projects in the country. From 2016 to date, Trafikverket has tested all three road charging technologies in various parts of the country, including Lund, Gotland, and Sandviken.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the focus has been on trucks and buses and for a good reason. Electrifying the road network that connects the country\u2019s biggest cities would reduce emissions of heavy duty vehicles by 1.2m tonnes in 2030, research <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0968090X21000255#s0080\">estimates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But, in 2018, Sweden <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/evias.se\/en\/projects\">began testing road charging<\/a> for both commercial and passenger EVs as well on a 2km route between Stockholm\u2019s Arlanda airport and a logistics area in Rosenberg.<\/p>\n<p>The government\u2019s plan is to deploy 2,000km of ERS on public roads by 2030 \u2014 the same year it has proposed to ban new fossil fuel-powered cars. But whether betting on e-roads constitutes a fruitful strategy remains a controversial topic.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, electric road systems will enable longer distances to be <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ed between charging station visits, increasing the adoption rate of EVs and, in turn, reducing carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p>A <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chalmers.se\/en\/current\/news\/see-electric-roads-pave-the-way-for-smaller-car-batteries\/\">recent study<\/a> by the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg has further found that e-roads would also lower the demand on the grid during peak times, working as an alternative to home charging. The team also suggested that combining home (static) and on-the-go (dynamic) charging can reduce the battery size by up to 70%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis would reduce the need for raw materials for batteries, and an electric car could also become cheaper for the consumer,\u201d said Sten Karlsson, co-author of the study.<\/p>\n<p>There is, however, an important counterargument: the lofty investment and maintenance costs for a nascent type of infrastructure that, in the long run, may prove obsolete as battery development accelerates.<\/p>\n<p>But according to the study\u2019s findings, the risk doesn\u2019t seem that high. The team estimates that only 25% of the national and European roads would need to be electrified for the system to work.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden is not alone in developing e-roads, with Italy, France, Germany, and the UK testing the technology as well. In fact, Europe\u2019s interconnectivity might indeed give a winning chance to an electric road network.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
